So you want to automatically show a specific form view for a user based on screen resolution at login; normally I would say "good luck" with a smile, but things change. I have noticed several recent posts asking for this ability so I thought I would post the fix I have done. We have all had the fun of building different views for users that use a different screen resolution. Some of us are good at "real" programming with Visual Basic or something of that nature and have made their own fixes for this issue. Most of us have had no way to know what resolution is used automatically on login to open the right view. We have had to provide manual ways for the User to pick the view or we set their account ourselves then have to monitor that for any needed changes. Recently I have found a free program that allows building scripts (like batch files in DOS) and compiles the script into a program. This program does "a lot" of windows actions and can pull "a lot" of environmental settings as well. I am "not" a programmer and I found this program very easy to figure out and use, it has a very good help system. Using this program I have made workflow that when a user logs in to Remedy their screen resolution is discovered then updated in their security profile (A form I made to control everyone's passwords). The workflow then opens the Support Console to the view for their resolution. The resolution is also stored in the Support Console for use in other forms they open. I also do not allow the user to close the Support Console if they do it just re-opens.
