KEY ORGANIZER

Questions And Answers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question Is there an interface to key cabinets or other devices?
No, the KEY ORGANIZER program is a stand-alone-software designed for the recording of manual key issuances.
KEY ORGANIZER does not support electronic self-service key cabinets, key finders or similar. The implementation of such interfaces is not intended.

Question May I use the trial version for as long as I want?
If you are a small company and do not need more than the limited number of data records, feel free to use the trial version just like Freeware.

Question Can I simply delete the demo data records?
The KEY ORGANIZER trial version will start with default demo data records. This data might irritate you if you want to test your own entries. To delete the default data records, click on “Use own database” under “Demo” in the main menu.

Question How can I enter master keys?
Since every key (or transponder) can be assigned individually to every door or lock cylinder, you can enter any possible locking combination.

Question Is it possible to transfer master data from an existing personnel database?
Yes, it is possible to transfer your staff data once from an existing Excel® spreadsheet (Menu: File > Import).
However, any subsequent administration has to be carried out directly in the KEY ORGANIZER program. Further details can be found in the import information window in the program.

Question Is it possible to display a locking plan?
To display the key-door-assignments in the form of a locking plan, click on “Locking Plan” under “Window” in the program menu (F7 key).

Question What kind of database does the KEY ORGANIZER use?
The program uses its own, fully integrated database, see Database Info. This means that you do not need to have e.g. Microsoft® Access or any other additional program installed on your PC. This also means that you do not have to pay for additional software licenses and that the KEY ORGANIZER can be used on any Windows PC.

Question Do I have to install Microsoft^® .NET Framework?
No, the KEY ORGANIZER runs reliably on any current Windows system, i.e. Windows 98/XP/2000/NT and also Windows Vista! You do not have to install the memory-consuming .NET environment!

Question Are program updates available?
