The steps depend on your user interface mode.

By using layout files, you can access the InfoConnect .NET API in multiple instances of InfoConnect simultaneously. From this dialog box, define how to access the API in the instance of InfoConnect that starts when you open a layout file. (You must also enable the API in the Set Up API and Macro Security dialog box.)

NOTE:InfoConnect doesn't prompt you to save changes to a layout.

Set Up API

Automation server name	Specify the name you'll use to access a particular InfoConnect instance. For example, you can specify this server name in VBA macros that use automation to get a running InfoConnect instance.
IPC channel name	Specify a channel name. This setting overrides the IPC channel name specified in the Set Up API and Macro Security dialog box for the saved layout. In your custom application, use this name to access the API in the InfoConnect instance that starts when you open the layout file. (Use IPC must be selected in theSet Up API and Macro Security dialog box.)
