Import Template Database for a new installation

To facilitate a more comprehensive and straightforward installation process for setting up a new shop, users now have the option to install a template database during the initial installation. 

Note: this option is only for Cloud users.

This feature is designed to enable the completion of a full installation within just a few seconds. Unlike simply importing application settings, this method is far more thorough as it includes not only the basic configuration but also detailed information such as document and document box data. 

Additionally, it can incorporate template projects, which can be particularly useful for training purposes or other specific requirements. This enhancement aims to streamline the setup process, ensuring that users have a fully functional and well-prepared system right from the start.

How to proceed ?

This solution has been specifically designed for chains that are planning to open a new store and require a consistent, standardized method of operation across all locations.

The initial step involves creating a Database template. 

Note: a dedicated e-mail address is required for this. 

The user will configure a new Winner Bizz installation according to the desired specifications, typically on a test environment. This ensures that the setup is tailored to the chain’s requirements before deployment. For detailed guidance or assistance during this phase, users are encouraged to contact Cyncly, who can provide expert support and information. 

The template database can only be used as such, and is therefore different than a classic Winner Bizz installation, users cannot work on the template database. This distinction ensures that the template serves solely as a reference or starting point, rather than a fully operational environment for direct user interaction or development. Once created, the Database used as a template can be edited, for example if the internal processes change or if you want to add or remove elements.

After the configuration is completed, the user should submit a support ticket to their local support team. In this ticket, they should request the creation of a Database Template String, which will serve as the basis for the new store’s database setup.

The subsequent step involves installing Winner Bizz at the new store location. This installation will utilise the previously created database template to ensure that the new shop operates in line with the established standards and procedures.

How can I enter a Database Template during the installation ?

During the installation of Winner Bizz, at the authentication step, click on the Addition options button.

The Specific template string, the "address" of your template, needs to be entered here. This string is provided by Cyncly. 

Then, proceed with the installation as usual.
