3.5.2.1 DATABASE
This is the directory where the database used at the moment is stored; use the commands <New> and
<Select> to change the directory and the file to be used.
3.5.2.2 NEW
Creates an EMPTY database and sets it as default; a folder must be specified.
3.5.2.3 SELECT
If multiple databases have been created, one can be chosen as ACTIVE database (browsing the hard disc).
3.5.2.4 CLEAR
EMPTIES the current database deleting all relevant data for Athletes, Groups, Test Definitions, Tests. The
table to be cleared must be selected and confirmed (this operation CANNOT BE UNDONE or canceled).
3.5.2.5 EXPORT AND SAVE AS
These two commands allow to DUPLICATE the CURRENT database. This can be useful when backing up data
or making a copy of the database for keeping the Athletes' Data and the Groups emptying the part relevant
to the Tests (for example when beginning a new season). The directory must be chosen and the file must be
named. The differences between the two commands lies in the format data are stored: 'Save as' uses the
database format (.sdf) and therefore is just like a copy of the file in Windows; whereas Export compresses
the file in 7zip format (extension .wyt), which can contain other information in the future (such as videos or
pictures).
