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.

Default SuperUser login

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.

Generating sample data

generate dialog

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.

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.

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.
