On occasion, a new SalesLink release will include new fields in the database, so just updating the application file is only part of the update process. This demonstrates how to update SalesLink with a new database.
Step 1: Log into SalesLink and update the application
When we have a new SalesLink version available, when you log into SalesLink, you will be prompted to update the program. Clicking Yes will update the application and then present you with a login window again. Check to make sure the version number matches your expectations.
SalesLink Application > Login ScreenStep 2: Delete local database and download new one
To delete the local database, first select Options from the Tools menu
Next, click the Delete Local Database button. Select Yes and then OK.
SalesLink Application > Tools > Options > Delete Local Database
Step 3: Open SalesLink, re-run Setup, and test
Deleting the local database will close out Saleslink. Open SalesLink again, where you’ll be prompted to run the setup process again (which will download the latest database). Once the setup process is done, log back in and run a test transaction and then return the item to make sure that everything is functioning properly.
