Specify the Fixed Assets CS data location

If your firm has multiple branches that share the same installation of Fixed Assets CS, you'll need specify which data location you will use. The process to specify the location varies depending on whether you open Fixed Assets CS after or before the data locations have been added.
  • If you open Fixed Assets CS after the data locations are added:
    The 1st time you open Fixed Assets CS, the application opens the
    Choose Data Location
    window. Choose the data location from the
    Fixed Assets CS
    field. The FileCabinet CS data location is shown here if you have a license.
  • If you open Fixed Assets CS before the data locations are added:
    The application will store data in the default directory (which is
    C:\Wincsi\Deprdata
    , where
    C
    is the drive to which you installed Fixed Assets CS). To use a different data location, complete the following steps.
  1. Select
    Setup
    , then
    User Preferences
    .
  2. Select the
    File Locations
    tab.
  3. Select
    Fixed Assets CS
    .
  4. In the File Types and Locations list, select
    Fixed Assets CS client data
    .
  5. Select
    Modify
    .
    note
    If a client is open, Fixed Assets CS warns you that continuing with the process will close the open client.
  6. Select
    Yes
    to continue.
  7. Select the
    Data location
    .
    note
    Only locations that have been entered by going to
    Setup
    ,
    System Configuration
    , then the
    Data Locations
    tab are included in the list.
  8. Select
    OK
    , then
    OK
    again.
    note
    • The data location you select determines the configurable items to which you'll have access.
    • You can create additional data locations.
