About the sample database

Overview​

About the sample database​

When you install TimeTracker NX, if you create an empty database, you will need to set up TimeTracker NX from scratch.

We have prepared a "sample database" for those who want to use TimeTracker NX right away.

  • Users and projects are already set up.
  • The achievements of registered users are also entered.

Here, we will introduce the information that those who use the sample database should know.

User​

You will need an account and password to log in to TimeTracker NX.

  • Account
    • We have prepared "okamoto" as the system administrator (user who can perform all operations).
    • Users other than those mentioned above can be confirmed from the screen of the following link.
      "Help - Define a user"
  • Password
    • No passwords have been set for the users in the sample database, so you can log in with the password field blank.
    • If you want to set a password, log in as the target user and change it using the procedure in the following link.
      "Change password"
Please check that the number of registered users does not exceed the number of licenses. If it does, delete the user using the procedure in the following link.

"Register/Delete user"
