About ALLDATA Manage AutoAdmin

ALLDATA® ManageSM AutoAdmin is a utility program that is installed on the SERVER computer along with ALLDATA Manage.

This program is responsible for:

  • Automatically running data backups

  • Creating XML data exports

  • Importing scheduled appointments

  • Exporting Service History data

 

When the user logs into the SERVER computer, AutoAdmin starts automatically.

  • It runs in the background and checks periodically to see if there are any scheduled tasks to run.

  • The ALLDATA Manage AutoAdmin icon displays in your system tray (the bar at the bottom-right corner of your Windows desktop). Right-clicking this icon displays the following AutoAdmin options in a pop-up menu:

    • Start Service - starts AutoAdmin if it is currently paused (stopped).

    • Stop Service - pauses the AutoAdmin program, but does not exit it.

    • Exit - closes the AutoAdmin program. Restart AutoAdmin by rebooting the server computer, or by selecting AutoAdmin in the ALLDATA Manage folder (through the Start menu).

    • About - displays a window with copyright information.

IMPORTANT - Stopping or exiting AutoAdmin may interfere with scheduled tasks. Please consult your PC administrator before stopping or exiting AutoAdmin

 

ALLDATA Manage AutoAdmin Status window

  • When ALLDATA Manage is started, an ALLDATA Manage AutoAdmin Status window displays:

    • A list of backup and export tasks completed since ALLDATA Manage was shut down.

    • Whether or not those tasks were successful.
