Cit: n.a.
RW: by definition an Internet network application, from several points of view:
A. databases and application are entirely web based and can be used usually on IP identification + login
B. more than one user can share the same account (login) and access the same database: no record locking, last save is the effective one;
C. same person can create different accounts and use different databases;
D. databases, or portions of, can be shared by publishing their URL (or only a general one) and let users search what is shared and have some, all, rights to: export , print, format a manuscript, post comments that will be notified ... etc. (no records editing though) (the function is called RefShare and it does not expect the user to run RefShare but just a browser session)
E. a user can create a read-only ID & password and give it to others, but there isn't supervision and limitation on users' rights: any user can create his own account with full R/W rights
Bscp: two ways:
1 - a single-user licence -single copy of Biblioscape- on each workstation, no server administration,
2 - server installation and no single copy on clients, real server administration;
in both cases: multiple read and write rights, record locking

"Supports client/server setup if you use the built-in database server called BiblioRemote on the server machine, the client must have Biblioscape installed too and can open the database that resides on the server machine from any computer through the Internet. This makes it possible for remotes users to share the same database, and have all the features in Biblioscape still available. The alternative is to use BiblioWeb server which allows remote users to share the same database" (from the official documentation). Biblioweb lets users read, change, import, print data, and format manuscripts according to their password privileges (read, write, administration). Users are simply requested to use a browser without installing Biblioscape on the individual machines BK: n.a.: v. 9.2 single-user includes
web server LM: passwords for specific tasks; a database can be password protected. True network version Pr: No record-locking. Not really a "network version" EN:
No record-locking. Not really a "network version". Anyhow, must purchase individual licences for each user. Besides: mixed versions network: (Mac & Windows) Individual preferences file on different users machines
RM: (special price and conditions, see Identity card; first control is at MS-Windows' sharing permission level;
within RM:
a) only for one user at the time when the database is opened in Read-Write Exclusive, nobodyelse can access the db until it is closed;
b) Read-Write Share: all the logged users can perform anything apart from: Global edit, Chang db sort order, Field Type edit, Synonyms in Term Manager;
db ca be opened in one Read-Write Share and many Read-Only Share mode;
db ca be opened in Read-Write Share;
db can be opened in Read-Only Share
3 4 5 are all possible different configurations, but no administrator can control those access modes apart from Windows sharing/protection rights: to select one type og log in is left to the user.
No record or field locking is provided: many users in Read-Write Share mode can open and modify the same record and the same field: it will be saved on the last exit from that point of view.
N.B. As already mentioned, functions like: change database sort order, global edit, field and reference type edit are reserved in Read-Write Exclusive mode to only one user, whilst others cannot access the database.
