Creating a New Database - Sample

The Standard ERP installation package includes a set of sample data that you can use to create a sample database. This will allow you to test new or unfamiliar Standard ERP features before using them in your "live" database. A sample database is fully functional with the exception that Cloud Services are disabled. You can use a sample database for 30 days, after which it will go into restricted mode. From that time onwards, you will only be able to print reports and documents to screen, not to a printer, to file or to any other medium. Exporting from a sample database and importing to a new database before the 30-day point will cause the new database to go to restricted mode immediately.

To create a sample database, follow these steps:

  1. Start Standard ERP by double-clicking the application icon. The first window to appear will ask how you want to use the application:

  2. Click the [Launch Sample] button. A new database will be created, the sample data will be imported, and you will be logged in automatically (if the 'Login' window appears, log in as SJ with password Sample99 (no password if you are using a version prior to 8.5)).

  3. After logging in, the Navigation Centre will appear, as illustrated below on the Work Area page but with one difference. The window title of the Navigation Centre will contain the phrase "(SAMPLE)" as a suffix. This is to remind you that you have logged in to a sample database that you should use for testing only and not for real data.

  4. As well as the Navigation Centre, a 'Task Manager' window will also open. This window opens because you have been logged in to the sample database as a user who has some scheduled tasks that are still outstanding. If you need to close the 'Task Manager' window, click the close box. Otherwise, please refer to the Task Manager page for more details.
