Client Manager consists of the programs Client Start and Client Update.
Client Manager is included in certain program versions and is used to manage several system databases. A system database, or, one "installation", can contain several company databases (companies, clients, sets of accounting). Users in need of several system databases are usually accountancy firms with a large number of clients.
Client Start
Client Start gives users the opportunity start different Mamut databases from the same place. The typical user may be an accountant, alternating between different databases at different locations. Via Client Start you can launch Import/Export as well as other installed Mamut programs.
In addition, ClientStart lets you launch DataTools for different system databases and create backup copies and perform administrative tasks in the databases.
Client Update
Client Update gives users the opportunity to update several databases at once. It is also possible to update company databases within a system database. A typical user may be a system administrator, who is responsible for managing several databases.
Launching the Applications
You can launch the programs by clicking on one of two shortcuts. These can be found in the same location to where you installed Mamut Business Software, in the ClientManager folder.
Note that the installation/update programs do not create shortcuts to these programs. To create a shortcut, right click one of the .exe files and select Create shortcut.
Installation
The applications are installed together with your Mamut program.
The company databases are installed, by default, to the same location (Data Folder). However, you cannot launch several databases located in the same Data folder simultaneously. For Client Start to work, all databases must be divided into different Data folders.
One Client Manager licence is required for each system database that will use the program. The licences must be available in each one of the Data folders.
The Client Manager documentation can be downloaded from the Internet: www.mamut.co.uk (external link).
