If updating from Genota 3.x, all existing notebooks will need to be converted for use with Genota 5. Before undertaking the conversion process it is highly recommended that all files be backed up and securely stored.
Converting Genota 3.x Notebooks is a four (4) step process:
1. Select the menu option FILE > FILE MAINTENANCE > CONVERT FROM GENOTA 3
2. Click select OK at the confirmation dialog
3. Navigate to, and select the folder in which the Genota 3.x folders are stored
4. Click Select the OK button to commence the process
If you have a large number of Notebooks this process may take a some time to complete.
IMPORTANT
Before undertaking the conversion process it is essential that the following actions are performed otherwise the conversion will not be successful
It is recommended that Genota 3.2.0.16 (last version) is installed before continuing
Open each Genota 3 Notebook to ensure that their file structure is up to date
Ensure that all Genota 3 data paths must be valid - Run the RESET DATA PATH option in Genota3, then close Genota 3
Ensure that NO Notebooks exist in Genota 5 with the same name as those in Genota 3. If so, delete the notebook(s) from Genota 5 or rename them
