MANAGESM AutoAdmin is a utility program that is installed on the server computer with MANAGE SM. This program is responsible for automatically running data backups, creating XML data exports, importing scheduled appointments, and exporting Service History data.
When the user logs into the server computer, AutoAdmin starts automatically. It runs in the background and checks periodically to see if there are any scheduled tasks to run. The MANAGE SM icon displays in your system tray, which is in the right-hand corner of your taskbar (the bar at the bottom of your Windows desktop). Right-clicking this icon displays the following AutoAdmin options in a pop-up menu:
Start Service - starts AutoAdmin if it is currently paused (stopped).
Stop Service - pauses the AutoAdmin program, but does not exit it.
Exit - closes the AutoAdmin program. Restart AutoAdmin by rebooting the server computer, or by selecting AutoAdmin in the ALLDATA MANAGE folder (through the Start menu).
About - displays a window with copyright information.
Note: Stopping or exiting AutoAdmin may interfere with scheduled tasks. Please consult your PC administrator before stopping or exiting AutoAdmin.
When MANAGE SM is started, a MANAGE SM AutoAdmin Status window displays a list of backup and export tasks completed since MANAGE SM was shut down, and whether or not those tasks were successful.
