Open the Config. Package Card window.

Specifies information about a configuration package, including the list of tables that are contained in it. You fill out the General FastTab of the card with details about the package and provide the package with a name.

In the Tables FastTab, you add the tables that are to be part of the package. After you select tables, you can view information about them, including how many fields are in the table and which page is associated with that table.

The Get Database Data action copies all of the existing database records into the package data for each of the tables. The Copy Database Data to Package Data function in the Tables FastTab copies all existing database records directly into the package data for each of the selected tables. The data is validated as it is copied. In the Tables FastTab, the No. of Package Records field will show the number of records that were successfully copied, and the No. of Package Errors field will show if any errors occurred with the copied data.

The Export Uncompressed Package action exports an uncompressed XML file containing the tables in the selected package. The Export Uncompressed Package action exports an uncompressed XML file containing the tables in the selected package. This function would typically be used by a JustFoodERP Services team.

The Delete Database Data action in the ribbon deletes all data from the listed tables. The Delete Database Data function in the Tables FastTab deletes data from the selected tables. This action could be used after you've copied a company, and want to clear transaction data (using the Clean Company package) for a go-live, or for a new round of testing or development. Database data can only be deleted for companies that have a status of Testing or Development on the Companies window. Warning: This function does NOT run data deletion integrity checks. Data will be deleted regardless of whether other data will be impacted. Note: You can only delete data from tables that you are licensed to access.

Additional Information

As you refine your configuration strategy, you may find it necessary to determine which other tables would be useful in the data configuration. Use the Get Tables action to make this determination. You can also use the Tables FastTab to get related tables, which are required for the tables you have already selected. This helps to reduce the numbers of errors that are introduced into configuration. For example, you may add the Customer table to your set of configuration tables.
