The training option runs POINT-OF-RENTAL with a training database that does not affect your store’s “real” database. This can be used to train new employees, or for trying something new. The training database is updated with current data by backing up the hard drive to tape using the Point-of-Rental backup icon. When the Training Database option on the Program Menu is checked, you will be using the Training Database. With the checbox is unchecked, you will be using your “real data”. When in the Training Database, the background will be bright red with the words Training on it.

The training database will have your actual items, customers, transactions, etc as of the last system backup. You can add or modify items, customers or transactions in your training database an it will not affect yor real data.
