Multi-User / Network Setup iMagic Inventory supports multiple users on a local area network (LAN).

Overview One PC acts as the server — it hosts the shared database. All other PCs connect to this shared database over the network.

Setting Up the Server PC
  • On the server PC, go to Start Menu > iMagic Inventory > Network Administration.
    • Follow the prompts to set the Database Folder to a shared network location.
    - Example: \\ServerPC\SharedDocs\iMagic Database
    • Ensure the shared folder has read/write permissions for all network users.

    Setting Up Client PCs
    • Install iMagic Inventory on each client PC.
      • Launch the software — it will ask for the database location.
        • Point it to the shared database folder on the server PC.
