The system can manage up to 999 separate databases called Areas, each one is assigned a number between 001 and 999. Each Database Area can be configured completely differently with its own setup/settings and set of data.

Please note that an Authority Level of Power User or above is required to set up Database Areas but only Admins can delete Areas, apart from 001 which cannot be deleted.

Select Menu and Setup > Database Areas.

Select

Select an Area Number from the drop down list, the list will show all numbers that are not currently in use.
​

Enter an Area Name, this does not have to be unique as the Area number will always be unique.

If you want to Copy the settings from an existing Area, select that Area from the drop down list and tick/check the boxes for the settings that you want to copy.

NOTE. Unless you really do want to start from scratch, it is highly recommended to copy from an existing Area and then modify the New Area as required.

Then select

You will be taken back to the list of Areas and from there you can go to the Menu option, File > Change Area to view your New Area.
