Q
|
Is there a backup facility? |
|
A
|
Not at present, we are going to include
this functionality in Version 2.0 although it can be done manually
in Version 1.x by copying the the contents of the "Data"
folder (conatined within the SIMS installation folder) to a
floppy disk or CD Rom. |
|
Q
|
Will I lose my data when ugrading to a different version? |
|
A
|
No, SIMS automatically detects versions
and makes database changes accordingly. A backup is performed
before any database upgrade to ensure there is no possibility
of data loss. Just remember you do not need to uninstall SIMS
before installing the new version. |
|
Q
|
Do I need to pay for upgrades? |
|
A
|
All intermediate upgrades come free
regardless i.e. v1.0 to v1.1. There will be no upgrade charge
to the next major release i.e v1.x to v2.0 although there will
be a minimal upgrade fee for a 2 step version i.e. v1.0 to v3.0
(Note: this is the version you registered and not necessarily
the once you are using) |
|
Q
|
I cannot edit the data or change
System Properties? |
|
A
|
SIMS works on the principle that you
must first enter into "Edit Mode" before you can change
the data, once you are in edit mode you can then decide whether
to save or cancel the amendments. Each screen contains a toolbar
with all the available options you can perform, select an option
from the toolbar (leave the mouse cursor over a button for a
second to get a hint) and the system will indicate "Edit
Mode" via the icon in the bottom left of the status bar. |
|
Q
|
Can I include my company logo on invoices? |
|
A
|
The new "SIMS Invoice Designer"
allows you to add your company logo and other images to the
User Configurable Invoice although the ability to add your logo
the the predefined invoice templates will be available in Version
2.0. |
