DOWNLOAD:Super Rolodex 7 can be downloaded from our site at:http://www.superrolodex.redhousesoftware.com/Please note that during the download process it is possible that you might get a Windows Defender pop-up advising that the app is not trusted. If you see this pop-up, just click ''Allow'' or ''Trust''. This usually happens because we recently updated the app and there are not thousands of users who have downloaded it yet. This seems to happen every time we release an update because Windows Defender and Norton consider an update to be an entirely new program and the app's trustworthiness seems to be scored on how many users have downloaded it. So every time we release an update, the rating process starts all over.

Log In User Name and Password:The first time you run Super Rolodex, the login user name and password are both: adminThe user name and password will remain to be admin unless you change it in the Settings window which is discussed later in this manual.

Registering:Why you should register and how.

Why and How to Register Super Rolodex:Registration will remove the record limitation and allow the program to run in full-version mode with no limitations. The registration process consists of paying a one-time registration fee, then entering a license key into Super Rolodex that we email you. See the steps below...

From the Super Rolodex Main Window, click File, then click Register this App.

The Registration window opens as shown on the next page.

In the Registration Window, click the Purchase License Key button as indicated on the screen shot below. It will launch the registration page as shown on the next page where you will proceed to pay a one-time registration fee by Paypal or Debit or Credit card.

The Software Registration page comes up and you then click the Buy Now button which will allow you to proceed with making the one-time transaction on Paypal or using a Debit or Credit card as shown on the next page.

After completing the purchase, Paypal will notify us that you have paid. At this point, we will email you the license key by the end of the day, (but usually within a couple hours). The next page will show an example of an email we will send you to complete the registration in Super Rolodex.

This is an example of the email we send you that will contain the license key with instructions on completing the registration.

Enter the License Key from the email we sent you into the Super Rolodex Registration Window, then click the Submit button.

Congratulations!!! you have successfully registered.

The Basics:Creating Records

andSearching Records

The Basics:The majority of what you will be doing in Super Rolodex is creating records and searching records, which is all fairly straight forward as described below.

Create a New Record:To create a new record, click the New button at the top of the window. This will clear the fields and save a blank New Record. Simply type in the information you want in the appropriate fields on this new blank record, then click the Save button. Note that whatever you have in the first field will also display in the record list on the left.

Searching Records:At the top of the main window, you will see two search boxes and an ''All Fields'' check box. The search box on the left will perform your search on the Company Name field only, and will perform that search across the entire database. If Super Rolodex does not find what you are looking for, click the ''All Fields'' check box and Super Rolodex will perform the same search on ALL the fields of the entire database.Likewise, the search box on the right will search all of the fields of only the current record. This works great when you have a lot of information on one record and you need to search within that record.

See the next screen shot below to continue with this search example.

Since Super Rolodex did not find ''welding'' in our initial search, now we just click the ''All Fields'' check box and Super Rolodex will automatically re-run the search but this time it looks in every field of the entire database (not just the Company Name field).When a search word is found, Super Rolodex highlights the found word in bold red colored text, and it also highlights the fields it found the word in yellow.

Networking:Copying the Database to your Server

andConnecting to that Shared Database

Networking Multiple Computers:If you are using Super Rolodex at work (or on a home network), chances are you would like to install Super Rolodex on multiple computers and have them all share a common database so that each workstation can view and edit the same records (in a single shared database). Good News - This is very easy to do and you will be pleased to know that you will not have to “register” each copy of Super Rolodex on each computer. Allow me to take a brief moment and explain why this is so. Once you have registered Super Rolodex on one computer, the license key is stored inside the database. That means that you can literally make a copy of that “registered” database then paste it into a shared folder on your server so that other workstations can access the same database. When Super Rolodex connects to a ''registered'' database, (even a copy of a registered database) it runs in full-version mode. See image below.

Copy Database to a Shared Folder:

After you have registered Super Rolodex, copy the database to a shared folder so other workstations can access the database and run in full-version mode. Simply use Windows copy/paste procedure as shown below...

As you can see in the image below, the database is located locally in the folder: C:\SuperRolodex7.1

Right click on the Database1.rsd file, then from the context menu that appears, click Copy.

Now, just browse to a shared folder on your server, and in the white-space inside that folder, right-click your mouse and select Paste. You now have a copy of the registered database in the shared folder on your server. Any computer on your network that is running Super Rolodex can now connect to that ''registered'' database and will run in full-version mode, and since the database is in a shared folder on your network, all your workstations can view and edit the same records.

Connect to a Shared Database:In the example on the previous page, Super Rolodex is installed on 3 computers that have access to a shared folder on your home or company server. Super Rolodex was registered on Computer #1 (but not registered on Computer # 2 or # 3).After you have copied the ''registered'' database from Computer # 1 and pasted it into a shared folder on your server, the next step is to simply point Super Rolodex to the database that is now on the server (rather than the local database) as shown below...DO THE FOLLOWING FOR ALL 3 COMPUTERS:At the top of the Super Rolodex main window, click Database then click Database Manager. (The Database Manager window opens).

Browse for the database that is on your server, then click Open.

Super Rolodex will connect to that database, and if the database was registered, the program will run in full-version mode, and it will remember that connection so the next time you run Super Rolodex it will automatically connect to that database.
