Deleting Media Files
When you delete a media file from a record, it is permanently deleted from its library
and from any collections within the same library.
To delete content in a media field:
1 Click in the media field.
2 Press the Delete key or choose Edit > Clear.
Working with Encrypted Fields
You can store sensitive data in encrypted fields. When you enter data in encrypted
fields, it is securely stored in your Bento database and can only be read within Bento.
Encrypted data in a locked field is displayed as bullets.
If you attempt to enter data in an encrypted field and you have not already set the
Database Password, you won’t be able to proceed until you do so. For information
about setting the Database Password, see
”Setting a Password for Your Bento
Database” on page 97.
You can search encrypted fields if they are unlocked. For more information about
searching, see
”Search Field and Advanced Find” on page 27.
Setting a Password for Your Bento Database
You can set a password to protect your database. The Database Password also protects
all encrypted fields. To set a password for accessing a shared database, see
”Setting a
Password for a Shared Database” on page 36.
To set the Database Password:
1 Choose Bento > Preferences.
2 Click Security at the top of the window.
3 Select Use Database Password.
4 For Enter Database Password, type the password.
5 For Confirm, type the password again.
6 (Optional) For Password Hint, type a word or phrase to help you remember
the password.
7 Keep your password in a safe place. If you forget your password, it is not
possible to recover it.
8 Click Set Password.
