Sharing OW desktop


 

I've recruited a friend to participate in some upcoming occultations.
?
They are not sure if he will be "into it", so I haven't helped him install any software other than what is needed to capture events.
?
Left off the install list was OW desktop.
?
He will record events and I told him that I would process and submit them.
?
I will create an IOTA account for him and I would like to be able to use OW to sign in as him, find events for him, and use the "Report Observation feature".?
?
Can OW support multiple observers and if not, what would be the best practice to support this effort. I can use a second PC to create another copy of OW, if that is the only choice.

Hi Vince,

Probably the easiest thing would be using your own account. You can add a second 'Home' site and switch between the two to find events. When you submit stations you can use the station name to distinguish between you two, I.e. can have the observer name as part of the station name.

Reporting should work out of the box, but you may need to copy paste obsever name and address.

Your next option is to have a second Windows login with OW installed in a different location, or a second PC. You will also need a second OW account for thus option.

Hristo.
