Section Description

As with any database program, there is always going to be some initial setup to be done to customize the database to your needs. The following section explains which databases need to be set up initially and in what order.

Steps

Teacher File

Firstly, the Teacher file needs to include all teachers in the department that will be scheduling projects / recipes for classes. Initially, you must enter in all teacher names for this purpose. For more information on the Teacher file, see Teacher File.

Supplier File

The Supplier file needs to include a list of all your current suppliers. When you receive the system, it will come with a list of suppliers. Do not delete these, as items in the stock file that are assigned to these suppliers will be 'orphaned'. Instead, replace the details of these suppliers with the details of your equivalent suppliers. For more information on the Supplier file, see Supplier File.

Subject File

The Subject file should contain a list of the subjects you are currently running. It is important to have your subjects correct before you get to adding recipes to the system, as all recipes are grouped into subjects. For more information on the Subject file, see Subject File.

Centre Allowance File

The Centre Allowance file should contain a list of all the rooms used by your department. Edit the existing centres to display the names of the rooms you use and add extra centres if necessary. For more information on the Centre Allowance File, see Centre Allowance File.
