Getting Started – Setting Up Basic Information

When you first install the software, you will need to choose an installation location. By default, the installation program suggests a location on your local hard drive. For most users this is fine and does not need to be modified; however, you may suggest any location you wish.

You will also choose an installation type of Full (Main Computer). This will install the software as well as the main database files. Since this type of installation creates the main database files, a main computer setup should only be performed once so you do not have multiple, separate databases installed throughout your network. If you are networking multiple programs together, you will want to share the same, single database so all other programs and read and modify the same data.

Once you have completed the installation of the program, you will see a shortcut icon to the program on your computer's desktop screen. You may open the program using this icon or select the program from your programs menu in your Windows^TM system.

You may open the software in demonstration mode to put the program through its paces. If you wish to purchase a software license and activate the program, please contact Friday Systems, Inc.

The Getting Started window will be displayed. This screen displays a list of setup information screens that should be filled out before you start entering inventory or processing deals. Click on each labeled button, moving from top to bottom, to access that part of the program and set up your initial data.

The parts of the program which are accessed through the Getting Started window may also be brought up by clicking the File menu (for the default forms and report printers) or by clicking the Maintenance menu and making the appropriate selection from the pull-down menu.
