bu on. In the TimePilot system, the database is where all employee transac ons are stored.
Generally, the database is not kept with the TimePilot so ware fi les, much like a le er that
you write with word processing so ware generally is not saved in the same folder as the word
processing program.
By keeping the data in a separate loca on, you can uninstall or install the TimePilot so ware
without aff ec ng the data that the system has collected. (Note: If you’re re-installing the
so ware, you may see an exis ng database listed; if you wish to use that database, click it to
highlight it and then click “Open.” )
The so ware will suggest a loca on for the new database. You can accept that loca on or
change it to any loca on you want. Once you create your database, you’ll set up your company
using the TimePilot Setup Wizard.

you’ll be taken to the TimePilot
Setup Wizard, which guides
the fi rst- me user step-by-step
through the process of se ng

Keeping accurate me
TimePilot PC takes its me from the computer where your database is stored. For
example, let’s say you save your data to a server and use a local PC to process employee
hours and run reports. If the me on the server is incorrect, it will be incorrect in
TimePilot PC, too, even if the me on the local computer is correct. To correct the
problem, make sure your server has the correct me.
