Step 2
SET uP YOuR DATABASE
Now that your software is installed, you will want to take a few
minutes to properly enter information into your database.
For detailed information on any of the procedures listed in this document,
please refer to MobileAsset’s online help system. You can access the
online help by clicking Help > Contents from the toolbar or by selecting
the Help button on any screen.
Below is a brief outline of the steps required to set up your database.
These steps should be done in order. The steps below discuss manually
entering information into your database; however, much of this data can
be imported. Importing data is discussed in this document in the section
titled Methods of Data Entry (Importing vs. Manual Entry). Even if you
are planning on importing your information, we recommend that you
review the steps below to help you understand how the different types of
data interrelate.
If you have installed the MobileAsset Web Module, you can complete most
of your database setup on the Web. You will need to enter your Groups/
Users and Company Information on the PC application, then you can
complete the database setup on the Web Module. For more information
on getting started using the MobileAsset Web Module, please refer to the
section titled MobileAsset Web Setup on page 19.
1 First, open the MobileAsset application by double-clicking
on the icon on your desktop. You can also access MobileAsset from the
Start menu by selecting Programs>Wasp Technologies>MobileAsset.
The Login screen will appear. The first time you access the
system, Admin will appear in the user Name field. You do not need to
enter a password. Click the OK button to launch the software.
2 Create at least one additional user with Administration
privileges. By default, MobileAsset contains one Admin user
profile. You will want to create at least one more so that if one becomes
disabled you can still access the system.
Let MobileAsset Automatically Create user Profiles using Windows
NT Authentication: If you are using Windows NT Authentication, you
can set up a group in MobileAsset that matches your group name in the
Microsoft Active Directory. When users in this group access MobileAsset
for the first time their User account will be automatically created and
added to the Manage Users screen in MobileAsset (PC application).
Example: You have a group in your Active Directory named My Users
and you want everyone in My Users to have access to the MobileAsset
Web Module. Create a group with the name My Users in MobileAsset
using the MobileAsset PC application. Now when each member of the
Group My Users accesses MobileAsset, they will receive the usual
Windows Network Login Screen. They should enter their normal
network user name and password. MobileAsset will recognize the Active
Directory group’s name as matching the MobileAsset group name and
automatically create a user account for that user. You can then view
those user accounts in MobileAsset (Security > Manage Users). Keep in
mind that if you change the password on the user’s MobileAsset user’s
account, they will receive the regular login screen and must enter the new
password, rather than their network password.
3 Enter your company information. From the Main menu, select the
Administration icon, then click Company Information. All fields on the
company information screen are optional.
4 Enter all sites for your company. From the Main menu,
select the New icon, then click Site.
A site is a major classification for areas that contain assets within your
company. For instance, if you have two warehouses, you might set up
MobileAsset to have two sites: Warehouse 1 and Warehouse 2.
