-Once decimal eRT has been purchased, .decimal staff will assist with beam model creation, software installation, and user training. Users will generally be trained at two separate levels, system administrators and end users. System administrators will be setup with appropriate access and tools for managing the software, including both the local resources and user accounts. End users will be primarily trained on the details of generating high-quality treatment plans using the local client portion of the application. Additionally, the medical physics team will be trained and assisted in completing the beam modeling and equipment setup processes, which are explained more fully in the Commissioning Guide (this guide is not available at this time).+Once decimal eRT has been purchased, .decimal staff will assist with beam model creation, software installation, and user training.

   * If the application is set to use a [[electronrt:instructions_for_use:instructions_for_use#patient_database_file_storage|network patient directory]] shared with multiple users there may be a risk for 'database is locked' errors. This is due to the application using SQLite as it's database engine, which does not robustly support concurrent database users and reading/writing. While normal usage between one or two users may not pose a problem with this, having a significant number of users simultaneously accessing the network database or the following scenarios can cause the database to lock and throw this error:   * If the application is set to use a [[electronrt:instructions_for_use:instructions_for_use#patient_database_file_storage|network patient directory]] shared with multiple users there may be a risk for 'database is locked' errors.
