Security is paramount in the school situation. Only users with a password are allowed access to their functional areas. Data backup is built-in as a SchoolWrite menu option - extra protection over and above system backups.

Passwords are defined for functional areas

A valid password is sufficient to get a user into the SchoolWrite system. How much further the user can go depends on the menu options set for the password in use.

Check accesses to SchoolWrite in the USER LOG

A log is kept of all accesses to SchoolWrite. Each entry shows the time and date, as well as the name and password of the user, and the area accessed. This is a self-purging log, with a maximum of 2,000 entries. This is helpful for support personnel in locating problems. Click on the logo in About SchoolWrite to access the log.

Backup Data files

	SchoolWrite data can be backed up at strategic times, eg prior to automatic fees billing prior to payroll processing at end of Semester at end of school year The .zip file is small. Only Data is backed up - programs and other items that do not change are not backed up.	Data Backup is accessed from File Menu Data backup is recommended along with daily system backups
Backups are made to removeable media - floppy disk, Zip disk, USB Drive, CD/R, or to network locations.
