Initial Login fails. |
- The default user name for initial log in is ADMIN. The default
password is also ADMIN. If these values fail for login, then either
this is not the initial log in, or the database has been modified in
some other way. Make sure network permissions as properly set for two
way communications between the client and server. Test to make sure
you can actually see the database folder from the local computer. If
the default log in fails and you are certain that the database
contains no valid data, then you may consider uninstalling the server
and then re-installing it.

I was locked out in the middle of modifying a record. |
- Regardless of your permission level, all records are presented as
READ ONLY and can be modified only when a modify request
is made. Click the modify icon to begin entering your changes. If you
click save, the modification process is disabled after
the save and the record reverts to READ ONLY. If you save while making
modifications, you will have to click the modify icon to
resume modify mode. When you have completed your modifications, make
sure you save the record to return it to its locked state.

|
Why don't records remain open for modification if my permissions
permit this? |
- Mugshot Pro software keeps records locked to avoid accidental
modification that might occur as the result of unintentional key
strokes, for example, while scrolling through records. In order to
make a modification, you must make a definitive action by requesting
modify mode.

Why is the save icon grayed out? |

Why do I have to crop new photos?
|
- Mugshot Pro provides tools to make sure all of your front and side
view mugshot images are composed properly and are set to the same
resolution. If your incoming image for either the front or side
mugshot is not a vertical image set to exactly 640x480 pixels, then
you will be prompted to use the cropping tool to compose your image.
Once you have completed this process, your new image will conform to
the system standard and will yield high quality, consistent results
when printed or presented for use in identification.
|
|

|
What about cropping additional photos? Is this required? |
- Except for the first two images, you do not have to use the editor
to assure consistency. You can store any size or shape photo in any of
the additional photograph fields. These images will be presented
centered in the window as they were entered into the system.

follow the instructions to name field five as well as the tab. The
