Restore custom methods, custom reports, or system settings from a backup copy

Perform the following steps to restore custom methods, custom reports, or system settings (asset labels, data locations, import maps, or status system events) from removable media or a backup location on the hard drive or in the application (if licensed) to the active location on the hard drive.
  1. If the custom methods, custom reports, or system settings (asset labels, data locations, import maps, or status system events) are archived on removable media, insert the media in the appropriate drive.
  2. Select
    File
     and then
    Restore
    .
  3. Fixed Assets CS defaults to looking for client data on floppy drive A. Because you are not restoring client data, select
    Cancel
     to close the Clients Not Found window and open the Restore window.
  4. Make sure the correct data location is in the
    Data location
     field.
  5. Make a selection from the drop-down list at the top of the window.
  6. If the custom methods, custom reports, or system settings you are restoring are not on drive A, select
    Change Backup Location
    , navigate to the correct drive and path, and select
    OK
    .
  7. All custom methods and custom reports appear as a single list item in the Available pane. If you chose System Settings, Fixed Assets CS displays 4 items - Asset Labels, Data Locations, Import Maps, and Status System Events - for restoring. Choose
    Select
      to move the items to the Selected pane.
  8. Select
    Restore
    .
  9. After the restore is complete, select
    Done
    .
    tip
    • The fields in the Focus client listing group box at the bottom of this dialog and the options in the Backup data group box are not available when you are restoring custom methods, custom reports, or system settings.
    • To restore custom methods, custom reports, or system settings from the application, mark the
      System backups in FileCabinet CS
       checkbox in the Focus client listing group box and use the
      Backup
       drop-down list to specify the backup location.
