Q: Is there an inventory size limit?
A: No. You may add as much data as you wish to your inventory. You are only limited by the size of your hard disk. Remember, the more data and media files you store in Collectify Home Inventory, the larger your inventory file will be.
Q: How do I save my inventory?
A: Collectify Home Inventory automatically saves your changes as you work. Whenever you make changes in your inventory, such as adding a new object or importing an image, that information is immediately recorded to your computer's hard disk. Should your computer suddenly turn off (eg. due to a power failure), all of the changes you have made in your database will be saved, except perhaps for those made in the few seconds before the computer turned off.
Q: Does my inventory automatically backup online?
A: We do not provide online storage for Collectify Home Inventory. See Links of Interest in the Help section of Collectify Home Inventory for possible storage websites.
Q: Can I undo an action?
A: It is possible to recover data you have entered in an editor's field by using the Undo tool. Simply click on Edit in the menu bar, then Undo (or use the shortcut CTRL-Z). Keep in mind that you can only undo an action if you have not closed the editor - you cannot recover data you have deleted from a field after you have left the record.
Q: What is the easiest method of data entry?
A: We suggest using either Quick Entry or Quick Image since they are the speediest methods of creating entries in Collectify Home Inventory. For more information, see Quick Entry and Quick Image sections of Collectify Home Inventory Help.
Q: Why can't I open my report file?
A: To open a report for preview, you need a PDF application installed, such as Adobe Reader. Go to www.adobe.com to download their free software.
