In order to configure InterForm400, or use the graphical designer, your user profile first need to be configured as an InterForm400 user, and the user should also be assigned access to at least one file set.
The user profile, that did the InterForm400 installation is automatically added as an InterForm400 user, and assigned access to a file set named the same as the user profile.
As default all users are administrators, this means that anyone can define themselves as an InterForm400 user simply as entering the InterForm400 main menu via the command, APF3812/APFMENU. If the current user is not defined as an InterForm400 user, then you will see the screen below:
Before you can use the system, you have to be set up as an InterForm400 user. As there not yet has been appointed an administrator of the system, you can enroll yourself. It takes place by selecting option 80 on the main menu.
At the same time you could appoint an administrator of the system.
Press ENTER

If all are administrators you can simply press Enter and continue to add yourself as a user. If not, you will need as ask an administrator to add you as an InterForm400 user as below.

The fields are:
User profile
The user profile (already defined in OS400), that should also be able to use InterForm400.
Language of user
The language of the InterForm400 menus for this user profile.
This is the header for the two next settings, that are used, whenever the user is working with a laser (PCL/PDF) file set.
Users output queue and library
The output queue, that this user will use as default for manual merges in InterForm400.
Printer type
The printer type, that this user will use as default for manual merges in InterForm400.
For laser print
This is the header for the two settings above, that are used, whenever the user is working with a label file set.
The output queue and printer type above can be overridden for the current job, at any time via option 9. Select output queue and printer type on the main menu.
PDF duplex back page method for preview
This option is relevant for PDF preview in the green screen designer only. This is relevant for those overlays, that are using a duplex back page. The duplex back page option in PDF output can be defined as described in the section, back page in PDF.
The codepage set here is the codepage, that the graphical designer will use, when this user profile is signed on. If blank the system codepage will be used.
When to use code page:
*SPLFATR:
Spooled file codepage will override the designer codepage set above, if it contains a specific one.
*ALWAYS:
Ignore any spooled file codepage in the designer - even if there is a specific codepage on the spooled file attribute.
DBCS codepage
If you want to use a DBCS spooled file in the graphical designer, then you should set a fixed DBCS codepage here. With the When to use codepage option you can tell InterForm400 if a spooled file codepage should be able to override the fixed codepage you have set here. For DBCS designs you should also enable the unicode option in the designer.
