Maintenance
Options menu
From the Options drop-down menu, you can change the
following settings or preferences and perform maintenance tasks.
Locking a database
To lock the database, select Lock Database and the Unlock
Database box will appear requiring you to enter your password to
re-access your data.
Resetting the layout
To reset the layout to the default standard of three panes
(closing the Search and/or Sync views), select Reset
Layout.
Backing up a database
To backup the database that is currently open, select Back
up Database. The backup file location will be displayed in a dialog box.
Backup files are encrypted with the current password.
Restoring a backup
To restore a backup, select Restore a Backup. The backup
file you select will be restored in the location of your current
database – overwriting/deleting your current database.
IMPORTANT: To open the restored database, you
will need the password that was used when the backup file was created.
Changing the password
To change the password that is used to unlock the current
database, select Change Password.
IMPORTANT: Retain all old passwords (and the
dates they were utilized) in case you have backups created with them.
Importing data
To import data, select Import Data, choose the type of
data from the list, and follow the detailed instructions for importing
that specific data in these Help Center listings.
Exporting data
To export data, select Export Data, choose the type of
data from the list. A box will appear telling you that your data will be
saved in a non-encrypted CSV file and asking if you wish to continue.
When you press Yes, it will allow you to select the location for
your newly created CSV file.
Deleting a database
If you need to create a new database in place of the current one
or the current database is no longer needed, you must delete the current
database. To do that, select Delete database. This
operation is not reversible, so make sure you have made adequate backup
copies or exported your data to another location if you will want to
access it in the future.
Preferences
The General selection provides checkboxes to choose to:
- Sort folders before other items
- Mask passwords
- Mask secret numbers
- Detect phone numbers
- Tabbed layout (for small screens)
