You have just purchased Le Sage and do not know where to start. Here are some key steps to get you started with the software. Feel free to make backups every now and then so that you can experiment without worrying about damaging the data you have put in place. The first step is to look into the different menus and check all the actions possible, so do not hesitate to click and put a backup back in place if the consequences are too important for your data . To save: press the "Backup database" button.

Start backup.

You will find the backup file in the folder indicated in the "Settings" :

If you have not entered a specific folder, the backups will go to c:/LeSage10 by default. Now that you can no longer panic, the lifebuoy is your best friend, we can start playing with your database.

First settings

We will not detail each tab here but mainly the first settings necessary to import your catalog.

The configuration of the company is necessary to link your works to companies. If you only manage your catalog, and you only have one legal entity, you will only create your company name. To add a company, press the "+" symbol and enter the name of your company. It is not necessary to set all of the available fields right away. These will be used later on for the statements.

Third parties

Third Parties are any person or entity with whom you will exchange data. You are going to want to integrate a first catalog into the database. You must therefore configure the third party that provided you with this catalog. As for the company, press "+" and type the name of the catalog supplier. The configurations on the right will be necessary when exporting your catalogs for this same Third Party.

These two basic settings get you started.
