Installing the Database

Select the Location of ShopFloorManager's database

After installing ShopFloorManager and during the first start up you will be required to set the location of ShopFloorManager's database. Follow the instructions below. If you need assistance please Call CCI. 1-781-933-9500

Selecting SuitFactory from Start Menu

After installing ShopFloorManager click on the Start Menu(Lower Left Corner of Windows) and then click on the CCI ShopFloorManager x.x\ShopFloorManager x.x Runtime Menu and the following Window will be displayed.

Configuring ShopFloorManager

Note: To select the Location where the Database will be installed click on the OK Button and the following Window will be displayed.

Select ShopFloorManager Database Window

Note: There are two database providers that ShopFloorManager Supports. We will be using the Microsoft Jet 4.0 but if you prefer to use SQL Express Server please call us. Click on the Browse Button and the Following Window will be displayed.

Browse Folder Window

Note: Use this Window to select where you want to install the database. We recommend that you don't use Mapped Drives Unless it is a local Drive as these can be problematic. Also any "Folder" you choose for the database can't be a top-level "Folder" but must be a "Sub-Folder" even if you decide to use a Mapped Drive.

Selecting UNC database Location

Note: We are showing a UNC Drive as if you were installing the Database on a Server. If it is local just browser to the local "Folder" and select it. The Folder you choose must have full Window Rights and it would make sense for you to have created this "Folder" and set the "Rights" before hand. Make sure that IT is involved so you will not have to move the "Database/Folder" later! Click on the OK Button and the following Window will be displayed.

Select Folder Window

Note: Click on the OK Button and the following Window will be displayed.

UNC Path

Note: As you can see this is a Local Drive so ShopFloorManager will not let you choose the UNC Path. Just select the local Path directly when using the Browsing Window.

Local Path

Note: As you can see above this is a Sub-Folder in a Local Drive so ShopFloorManager is happy. Click the OK Button and the Following Window will be displayed!

Name Database Window

Note: ShopFloorManager supports multiple database so choose an Appropriate Name! Click the OK Button and you will see various Windows Appear and Disappear as ShopFloorManager Checks to make sure that the Database is error Free. After a brief time the Following Window will be displayed.

ShopFloorManager Login Window

Note: You are now ready to Configure ShopFloorManager. Click the OK Button to Login into ShopFloorManager! See the "First Login ShopFloorManager" Menu to Continue!
