Getting Started with JTL-Wawi

Introduction

After placing your initial order and having the JTL-Wawi server set up, you can begin configuring JTL-Wawi. In this article, we describe the first steps for fully configuring JTL-Wawi.

Establishing a Remote Desktop Connection

Use the connection information from the server’s password vault to establish a remote desktop connection to the server.

You will need the following connection information from the password vault:

• IP address
• Remote Desktop user
• Password

Please note that in the Managed support level, you cannot use the Administrator user.

Initial Setup

After connecting to the server via Remote Desktop in the first step, you can now begin the setup.

To do this, launch the JTL-Wawi application. You’ll find a shortcut on your user’s desktop.

Before you can log in to JTL-Wawi, you must set up the database server in the JTL Database Management tool in the next step.

Setting Up the Database Server

To use JTL-Wawi, you must first create a database.

Since no profile exists by default, you must first create one.

To do this, enter the following information during profile configuration:

• Name:
• Description (optional):
• Server name: localhost\SQLExpress (Note: Case-sensitive!)

Then click the Next button to proceed with logging in to the database server

Logging in to the Database Server

To log in to the database server, use the MSSQL credentials from the server’s password vault.

Enter these credentials and then click the “Log In” button to connect to the database server using the specified user information.

Create the “eazybusiness” Default Database

For JTL-Wawi to function correctly, JTL must create the eazybusiness database in this step.

Confirm the process by clicking OK.

The database will then be created using the default parameters. If necessary, you can adjust some settings using Expert Mode. Once this is done, you can click the Next button to create the database. Once the database, including all tables, has been created, you can complete the profile and database setup by clicking the Done button and proceed to log in to JTL-Wawi.

You can now log in to the JTL-Wawi application using the following default credentials:

• Username: admin
• Password: pass

Change Password

We recommend that you change the default password for the standard user to your own secure password as soon as possible after your first login and the subsequent setup of your organization in JTL-Wawi.

To do this, open the User Management section in the navigation bar under Admin and select the Users / Permissions settings.

Then select the user admin and use the Edit button to change the user settings, etc.

In the right-hand pane of the options window, enter a new password and confirm it by entering it again. You can also adjust other user details in this step, if desired. Confirm all changes to the user by clicking the Save button.

If you only want to change the password, you can do so for the currently logged-in user via the Home → Change Password section in the navigation bar.

To do this, simply enter your old password, then your new one, and confirm the change by clicking Change.
