Professional Client-/Server Solution

Other text snippet utilities provide "networking functionality" by using a simple network file share. However, this approach can cause serious problems if multiple users attempt to edit phrases simultaneously.

PhraseExpress, however, offers a full-blown Client-Server Architecture including a Windows Server Service to share the text templates to all users in the network.

This Server Service is set between the central phrase file and all connected clients and manages read/write access as well as providing many additional benefits:

  • The server access management prevents synchronization problems and hazardous write collision.
  • All clients can simultaneously use individual and shared phrases.
  • Read-/Write Access can be defined for each group based on the user name, workgroup, usergroup or domains:

Access Rights

Offline Cache

PhraseExpress automatically switches to a local backup when disconnected from the network ("network phrase file cache") and reconnects to the server when network connection is available.

Roaming profiles

Wherever you log on a networked computer, you always get your personal phrases as the access rights phrase are associated with your log in name.

Access via internet

Remote users can now connect to the PhraseExpress Server via the internet. Password protection and AES encrypted data transmission ensures high data security. Proxy servers can also be configured

Support for Terminal Server

PhraseExpress Network Edition is fully TS/Citrix compatible.

Data Security

The phrase file is centrally stored including multiple incremental backups automatically created and managed by the PhraseExpress Server. No need for you to backup files spread over several volumes. Everything is at one place.

Optionally, password access restriction can be defined for all clients logging onto the PhraseExpress Server.

No more user mistakes

To avoid operating errors, menu items for modifying data or changing settings can be removed in the Network Edition to securely eliminate the slightest risk of data loss:

This user interface simplification also keeps training required to a minimum.
