Setting Data Directory
Data Directory refers to the directory where you want the company data to be stored. By default, BUSY stores company data in the COMP000x directory under the parent directory DATA stored under the path, Hard DriveBusyWin. For example, you want to store all your work of BUSY in BusyData folder in D drive. For this purpose, you can use the Set Data Directory option and specify the path for storing BUSY data as D:BusyData.
An important point to note here is that data directory is different from the directory or folder where BUSY application is stored.
To set the data directory or path where you want BUSY data to be stored, open Company menu and click Set Data Directory option. On clicking the Set Data Directory option, a Set Data Directory window appears. Given here is a screenshot of Set Data Directory window.
In the Set Data Directory window, following group and data field appear:
Above information is valid for current session only
Check this checkbox, if you want that the path specified in above data field will not get saved and is valid by the time you have not closed BUSY. After closing the BUSY, when you open it again then the default data directory will appear and not the one on which you have last worked. On the contrary, if
you do not check this checkbox then the path specified in above data field will get saved and next time when you open BUSY, the same path will be displayed in the Data Directory data field.
After entering appropriate data in the data fields, click the Ok button to save the data directory information.
