Reset the database contents

The Reset Database button overwrites the current database with fresh starting values. This is primarily useful when you're first evaluating PDXpert and, after creating test data, wish to return to a "clean" database.

All work in the current database will be completely and permanently overwritten by the replacement database. If you reset your database, all of your current data - documents, parts, change forms, rules and collection members - will be deleted. Consider whether you should back up the existing database and library files before proceeding.

Ensure that all users are logged out of the PDXpert client application before the database is reset.

1. Click on the Manage tab.

2. In the System changes area, click the Reset Database button. When the warning is displayed, clicking the Yes button will confirm that you want to overwrite the current database with new starting values. Any files contained in the current data library folder will no longer be identifiable by the new database, and PDXpert will purge these files in the normal course of operation.
