Trying out AyaNova

The evaluation form is provided to generate sample data in order to be able to quickly try out features.

The sample data is randomly generated and will differ each time it is created. Any resemblance to real world data is unintentional and purely co-incidental.

In addition there is a link to receive technical support while evaluating AyaNova and get answers to any questions that are not covered in this manual.

The default login for the AyaNova SuperUser account is user name: superuser password: l3tm3in.

Before AyaNova is licensed and used in production you MUST change this or anyone could login with this default.

AyaNova will prompt you to change it if it discovers a login using the default superuser password with a non evaluation license.

Requesting a trial license

If this is your first time starting AyaNova and it has no database set up yet, the first step is to install an evaluation trial license.

How the trial license works

A evaluation trial license can be used to try out all aspects of AyaNova including up to 1000 scheduleable users for up to 45 days.

When the trial period expires AyaNova will present an expired license interface instead of the regular interface giving you the option of starting a new trial again for another 45 day period (after erasing the database) or purchasing and installing a license.

Your data and settings made during the trial period are still intact when the trial period expires so if you decide at that point to purchase an AyaNova license you can opt to keep the data and settings made during the trial period or erase the data to start fresh.

If you need more time to evaluate AyaNova after the 45 day period you can request a new trial key through the same process which will be presented to you .

When you request a new trial key and AyaNova already has a trial key installed, your current AyaNova trial database will be erased to start a fresh trial evaluation period again.

Generating sample data

The Generate sample data button in the evaluate page opens a dialog to select the quantity of sample data you wish to generate and set the time zone desired for the sample data to be generated within and optionally set every generated object with an email address to the same specific address for testing notification features.

Database will be erased

Seeding will trigger erasure of all data in AyaNova in order to return it to a clean state with the following exceptions.

Global settings
Operations backup settings
Operations notification settings
Business logos
Reports (any missing stock report templates will be re-installed)

Seed level

This setting controls the amount of data generated. The options are small, medium, large and huge. Each option will generate progressively more data than the last. The actual types of data generated are the same, only the quantity differs.

UTC offset

This setting exists to generate data within your local time zone's typical work day hours so that there aren't sample work orders generated that are scheduled for the middle of the night for example.

This field is automatically set based on the time zone of your device but can be set to any time zone offset desired.

Set all sample email addresses to this

This optional setting will override the usual random sample email addresses generated and instead set every object that can have an email address to the value entered here.

Used for simplifying testing of notification system to ensure all emails sent go to only one email address. Must be in the format of a valid email address.

Start job

The start job button will prompt if you're certain as this operation will erase any existing data. Once confirmed, the server will start the data generation job. While data is generating the server will be locked from access.

Sample Users

When AyaNova is in evaluation mode the login form has a list of sample User accounts available in order to more easily see the access available to each role during evaluation.

Selecting a sample user will fill in the login name and password fields based on the default login and passwords generated (it won't know if you change them later).

The sample users correspond to the different AyaNova authorization roles available and additionally have sample users set to use the different translations of AyaNova available besides the default English language translation.

The sample user login and password list is static meaning if you change any of those user's login name or password the login page won't know about that and will offer the stock default login instead.

Evaluation

We recommend evaluating AyaNova at first, with the sample data, before erasing it and entering your own data as it's easier to try things out when a full set of data is available.
