Create a New Database.

It displays four fields that you are to fill out. They are:

Database Name/Description: The database name will appear below your System Name located on the top of your browser pages. It can be any number of characters but try not to make it too long because it will look awkward on top of the page. If you want to connect to a remote Repository database then type in that name. Make sure the system administrator of the remote server database has created a user account for you and has given you or your group access rights to some or all the databases on their server.

URL for Remote Database: Place the URL for the remote database you wish to search and have access to.

Database Admin E-mail Address: Type in the E-mail address for the database administrator here so the persons E-mail address will appear on any error messages that may appear so the users can contact him incase any problems or user rights issues come up.

Database Admin Phone: Type in the database administrator’s phone number here so users can call him when necessary.

If your firm or agency has multiple separate Repository databases you should type them all in now so after you create groups and users you can assign them to the available databases at one time or else you will have to go back later and do it.
