APPENDIX A
Removing the Sample Data
If you are using the trial version of Web TimeSheet and would like to move to a version that does not include
sample data, you have two options:
1. Install the full version of Web TimeSheet. For installation instructions, refer to the Web TimeSheet
Installation Guide, available at www.replicon.com/products/product-documentation.aspx.
2. Remove the data using the procedures outlined in this appendix. Each edition uses different sample
data, therefore each has a unique data removal procedure:
Project & Billing Edition on page 94
Time & Attendance Edition on page 96
Use this option if you have entered data in the database that you would like to retain.
