Creating a New Customer Database

All operations on customer databases such as creating new ones, opening existing ones, closing the current one, importing inspection data from another program, or performing database backups is done in the Backstage view of Aspect, accessed through the File tab of the Ribbon Bar.

To create a new Customer Database:

  1. Access the backstage view by selecting the File tab from the Ribbon Bar.
  2. On the left side of the backstage view right under the circle with the arrow in it (which returns you to the main Aspect view), select the Customers section.
  3. Press Create New Customer.
  4. Press the Create button in the upper right part of the New Database dialog.
  5. Choose the location and new name for the customer database in the Save dialog.
  6. If you want to have the new database and asset folder contained in a new parent folder together that's named the same as the customer database, check the box to create a parent folder.
  7. Press the OK button.  Your new customer database will be created and you will be returned to the main Aspect view where you can start entering data.
