Delete Sample Data

To prevent confusion and errors, delete sample data before you enter information into RentMaster™. The trial version of the program includes a quick delete button for easy removal. Upon licensing the program, however, this button is removed to prevent the accidental deletion of the RentMaster™ database. If you want to delete sample data after licensing the program, or if you want to delete the RentMaster™ database at any time, follow the procedure outlined in Sequence for Manually Deleting Data below.

Trial Version: Quick Deletion of Sample Data

Prior to entering your company information, clear the RentMaster™ database of the default sample data as follows:

1. From the Main Menu, select [File] > Cleanup Database.

2. A pop-up alert appears asking you to confirm the deletion. Click [Yes].

3. A pop-up alert confirms the deletion. Click [OK].

Enter your company information as outlined in Configuration Workflow for New Users.

Sequence for Manually Deleting Data

If you want to delete all or part of the RentMaster™ database after licensing the software, then you must delete records in a particular sequence to prevent errors and ensure completion. The deletion sequence is essentially a reverse of the configuration sequence:

1. Delete orders as outlined in Delete Orders.

2. Delete quotes as outlined in Delete Old Quotes.

3. Delete customers as outlined in Add, Edit, or Delete Customers.

4. Delete product sets as outlined in Edit or Delete Product Sets.

5. Delete inventory items as outlined in Add, Edit, or Delete Inventory.

6. Delete products as outlined in Add, Edit, or Delete Products.

7. Delete categories as outlined in Add, Edit, or Delete Product Categories/Subcategories.
