Palace IT - Database Administration Area

Palace Stock Tracker is highly configurable via the Administration area to such an extent that it can be tailored to work around almost all furniture reuse organisations. The settings in this area affect all of the users/computers connecting to this database and is password protected.

To Enter the Administration Area

From the login screen select the database to administer and press the Database Administration button.
Enter the username and password when prompted (these are both set to "admin" by default, the password should be changed after the first login for security purposes).
