ProBoard allows you to easily validate users on your BBS using the values defined here in the Validate Template Editor.

The Validate Template Editor makes validation of your new users with any desired security level, loglevel, or combination of flag settings, and complete subscription support very easy.

Once your templates have been defined, all you need to do to validate a user using the templates, is to press <ALT-V> while positioned on their record in the User Editor. Then, simply select which validation template you want to apply.

Before you can use your validation templates, you must first define them. This is done here, in the Validate Template Editor.

To add a validation template, press <Alt-A>. You can also press <F1> for help at any time while in the Validate Template Editor.

The following keys can be used while in the Validate Template Editor.

Page Up ………………… Go to the previous record in the template

                            editor.

                            editor.

                            to a user at a later time when you validate
                            them using the templates.
