[RetailEdge User]

I just installed RetailEdge on a new machine. When I start the program, I see some pre-exisinting data.

How do I clear out the data and start over with blank data?

You are seeing our "Demo Data".

We use the same installation program for both the "Demo" version of RetailEdge and the "Real" version of RetailEdge.

RetailEdge installs with three pre-installed databases:

1) RetailEdgeData_Demo
2) RetailEdgeData
3) RetailEdgeData_Train

The installer automatically sets up RetailEdge to use RetailEdgeData_Demo data.

To change to the "Real", blank data, follow these steps:

1) Select Tools / Settings / Server Connection from the main menu.

2) On the Settings: Server Connection form, edit the "DB Name" field. You should change it to "RetailEdgeData" (no quotes).

3) Click the Save button.


At this point RetailEdge will reload itself and connect to the correct database. You should now see the "Real" data which should be empty/blank.
