There are several ways to add data to your Comp Manager database.
Indexing
The most convenient way is to simply fill out the relevant information in a report file. When the report is saved, the data will be added to Comp Manager's database automatically by the Report Indexer.
Manually
If you wish to add a comp to the database without including it in a report, you can insert it directly into the database for future use.
1. Open Comp Manager by going to Tools ⇨ Comp Manager.
2. Click Add Record.
3. Fill out any data about the comp you wish to include in the database. Additional data can be included under the General, Common, Unit, Other, and Photos tabs.
4. Click Save.
You will see a progress bar while Comp Manager processes and integrates the new record. When complete, the comp will be included in relevant searches.
Importing
If you have an existing WinComps, Photograph-It Plus or Comp Manager database, you can import it into your current Comp Manager database.
1. Open Comp Manager by going to Tools ⇨ Comp Manager.
2. Click Import Data.
3. Comp Manager will prompt you to select what type of database you're importing. Make the appropriate selection and click OK.
4. Browse to and select the database you wish to import and click Open.
You will see a progress bar while Comp Manager processes and integrates the new data. When the import is complete, the data will be included in relevant searches.
