View source for Smart Spec - Tips & Tricks

== Remember Password ==

By default, Smart Spec doesn't allow users to save their password.  However, this functionality ''does'' exist in the released version.  

To access it:

<ol>
<li>Open Smart Spec</li>
<li>On the bottom of the login screen, click the link for "'Show Advanced Options'"</li>
<li>Click the link that says "'Open Data Folder'"</li>
<li>Close SmartSpec at this time to prevent it from overwriting our changes.</li>
<li>Open the file named "'LoginPreferences.xml'" in notepad. (the "'.xml'" portion may not be visible on all computers)</li>
<li>Edit the file as follows: (sample file shown below)

Locate the line highlighted below:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" highlight="6">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<LoginPreferences xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <ManufacturerID>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</ManufacturerID>
  <RememberUsername>true</RememberUsername>
  <Username>joe.user@evisionservices.com</Username>
  <Password />
</LoginPreferences>
</syntaxhighlight>

And change it to this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" highlight="6">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<LoginPreferences xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <ManufacturerID>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</ManufacturerID>
  <RememberUsername>true</RememberUsername>
  <Username>joe.user@evisionservices.com</Username>
  <Password>MySuperSecretPassword</Password>
</LoginPreferences>
</syntaxhighlight>
</li>

<li>Save the file and open SmartSpec.</li>
