🗄️Advanced Input Data Management >> Dynamic database switching
The Dynamic Database Switching feature within Advanced Input Data Management provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing users to instantly shift their application environment without interruption or downtime.
This mechanism facilitates a seamless transition between two primary database configurations:
Trial/Demo Database: A pre-populated sandbox environment containing sample historical and current data. This allows users to fully test all analytical features, trend charts, and reporting functionalities (FR/SR calculations) before committing real company data.
Live Production Database: A clean, empty instance designated for storing the organization's actual historical and current safety metrics (hours worked, incidents, lost days).
The crucial benefit of this feature is that the database environment switch is performed instantly and on-the-fly, without the need to close or restart the application.
This seamless process greatly facilitates deployment, validation, and training, ensuring:
Zero Downtime: Users can validate reports against sample data and immediately transition to the live system to begin data entry.
Ease of Testing: The trial environment remains readily accessible for quick demonstration or functionality checks without impacting the live production data.
