Materials is alway up-to-date with the current parts' unit prices. There are some new reports also. You can see all
the new features and download the new reports on the Features - Professional page . Users of the Standard Version can
upgrade to the Pro version for $39.95.
How do I back up my data?
All your data is in the file: c:\program files\jewelry designer manager\JDMData.mdb.
You can use the Backup Utility on the Maintenance Menu to back up to your computer. If you are backing up to a CD/R or CD/RW please use your CD software.
How does the program removes parts from inventory?
The program does remove parts from inventory. In the Jewelry Assembly screen there is an inventory tab. Here you can view the inventory for each part and then remove the parts that were used in one or more pieces from inventory. The process goes like this:
1. Enter the part information and the number you have in stock.
2. Assemble your jewelry piece selecting the parts that were used.
3. Click on the Part Inventory Tab and enter the number of pieces made.
4. Click on the command button "Remove Parts from Inventory"
If you take apart a piece you can add the parts back to inventory by entering
a negative number for the number of pieces made. For example if you took apart two necklaces (same neckace) then you would
put a -2 in the field and all the parts for 2 necklaces would be added to the parts inventory.
Is there a Mac version of Jewelry Designer Manager?
The only way to run the program on a Mac is if you have a Windows emulator program such as Virtual PC (from Microsoft) installed on the Mac.
Jewelry Designer Manager is written in Microsoft Access. Since Microsoft did not include Access in the Mac version of Office there is no way
to transport the program to the Mac.
Why can’t I see the entire screen? Some of it is cut off?
If your computer’s screen settings are not set to 800 x 600 resolution then you may not see the entire page on the screen. It is recommended
that you change your screen’s resolution when using Jewelry Designer Manager™. To change the screen setting:
1. Select Exit Program from the main menu.
2. On the Windows desktop right-click anywhere on the screen
3. Click Properties and then click Settings
4. Change the desktop area to 800 x 600 pixels
5. Click on Apply
How do I change the Wholesale, Direct and Retail default markups in the Jewelry Assembly screen?
The Jewelry Designer Manager™ program allows you to assign a different markup for each item and for each type of sale:
wholesale, direct and suggested retail. You can keep the defaults (3, 4, 6) or change them to whatever you want for each
piece. If you want to change the defaults for all new records go to the Main Menu, select Maintenance/Setup Program Defaults.
