Paper Tiger Features

  • The Dashboard

  • Data is backed up nightly and written to multiple disks instantly. We can perform full backup recovery in the event of a system-wide emergency. Our hardware is also fully redundant so even if one disk or server fails nothing will be lost and the system will not go down. Our uptime is over 99%.



  • Databases

  • Importing Databases: Import your old Paper Tiger Desktop Databases from PTD, MDF, or BAK files

    Exporting databases: Export your database into Excel as an XML file

     

  • Database Export

  • Click on the Database in which you want an electronic copy. Click the Database Preferences button. At the bottom of the pop up box, you will see the section 'Need to export your data?' Paper Tiger can generate an XML file with the data from your database. Then click on Export this Database button. This includes all locations, items, categories, transfers, and trash. This XML file cannot be imported back into Paper Tiger.



  • Locations

  • How do we know (FOR SURE) that our existing Paper Tiger Desktop data converted correctly (how can we check to make sure that ALL of our physical files are represented with all their respective keywords in Paper Tiger Online, after the conversion?) When you upload your file, the system takes a Hash of the file before it begins importing the file. The system that imports the file is similar to the Paper Tiger Desktop application system and checks for all the required tables and fields, and checks to make sure that the file is consistent, meaning that there are no pending transfers. After verifying this, it begins the import, after which it sends you a confirmation email containing a brief summary of some of your database information for you to compare against your current installation. You should conduct the comparison to ensure your data imported correctly.
