SendIT - Utility Features

Backup and Restore

To backup the main SendIT database, select Backup from the System menu of the main screen. This will create a backup of the main database, using a timestamp (ddmmyyhhmmss.bak) as the filename.

To restore the main database from a previous backup, select Restore from the System menu on the main screen. Enter the backup file timestamp of the backup you want to restore.

Security

SendIT requires users to log into the system, and all activity by the user is logged. To use the security features of SendIT, all users should be given their own login, and the system administrator password changed.

To access SendIT security, select the Security menu from the main screen.

An existing user can be modified by selecting the user from the drop-down list, or a new user created by typing in a new name and details (NOTE: Names and User Ids must be unique.) To save changes, click on the Update button if modifying an existing user, or click the Add button if adding a new user. 

The UserID cannot be changed. This is because the ID is recorded on transactions and deleting the UserID would invalidate the data. The Name for a UserID can be changed. If a UserID is no longer required then it’s status  should be changed to inactive.

NOTE: Name, User Id, and Expiry Date are required. Be aware that some older computers will not accept a date beyond 31/12/2029, so a date of 31/12/2030 would be treated by the computer as 31/12/1930, and therefore SendIT will prevent access.

All users require a password. To set or change a password for a user, click on the Password (Pwd) button (NOTE: If you are creating a new user, you must save the user before you can set the password.)

Enter the old password (this will be blank for a new user), then type in and confirm the new password.

Any user can access the Change Password feature from the Change Password menu on the main screen.
