Using Sample Applications

Financial Management provides sample application files that you can use to populate a test application.

If you installed the Sample Applications component during the installation process, the files are in the Sample Apps folder in the directory to which you installed Financial Management.

If you did not install the sample files, you can obtain them by reinstalling Financial Management and selecting the Sample Applications component.

When you create a test application, you can load files from the Sample Apps directory. The directory includes sample security, metadata, data, rules, and journal files; report definitions, data grids, and Web Data Entry form scripts. Instructions for loading the sample files are included in the Documentation folder of each sample application, for example, \FinancialManagement\SampleApps\Comma\Documentation.
