Managing Your Databases
You can use the Database List Manager to help you manage your databases. In addition to helping you create and rename databases, the Database List Manager also helps you find databases. After using the application for some time, you, or other users, might have created databases in locations that you might not remember. The Database List Manager is extremely useful when you need to connect to a database that another user created in an unknown location.
After the Database List Manager locates a database, you can add the database to a list of databases that you have created. The application remembers where the database is located. You can access the Database List Manager from the File menu, or from any window with a Database button. To create a new database using Database List Manager, select the New Database button and complete the New Database window.
In addition, the network version of the application contains a utility to help you manage your databases. This utility is called the Database Utility - Network Depreciation & Tracking. It is designed to assist you in creating and managing databases, registering your product, specifying the folder for Adobe PDF files attached to assets, and more. You launch this utility from the Sage Fixed Assets program group; you do not access it from within the application. For information on PDF attachments, see Setting Up the Attachments Folder for PDFs.
