Customizing Timesheets MTS - System Options

This screen is where system type options and administrative functions for the software are run by users and by super users. For a detailed explanation of each setting please see below:

Setting
Description
Default User Password Set the default password to be assigned to new user accounts here
Distance Measurement Set the distance unit used by the travel logging aspects of Timesheets MTS here.
Access Backend Select this option to use Timesheets MTS along with an MS Access database backend.
Backend Database Location Click the browse button to set the path to your Timesheets MTS database backend here.
SQL/MSDE Backend Select this option if you want to use MS SQL Server or MS MSDE as a database backend. Note that you will only be able to do this if you are using the trial version of the software or have purchased a license of Timesheets MTS that has been enabled for the MS SQL Server backend.
User ID Enter the user name for the SQL/MSDE database you are going to use.
Password Enter the password for the SQL/MSDE user here.
Server Name Enter the server name for your installation of SQL Server/MSDE.
Database Name Enter the SQL Server/MSDE database name you are using.
Test Connection Click this button to test the connection to the SQL Server/MSDE database you wish to use.
Backup Access Database Click this button to make a copy of the Timesheets MTS MS Access database. Note that this will require all users to be logged out of the system.
Clear Logged in Users In some cases it may be possible for Timesheets MTS to think that users are still logged into the software (due to a PC crash for example). This will use up your available licenses. A super user can log everyone out of the system using this button. Before this button is pushed care should be taken that someone is not actually really logged into the system.
