Restoring the Sage 50 Pi Dashboard

  • Restore the Sage50_Repos.sql file into the pi Dashboard as per standard restore process

  • Default login credentials for the dashboard are:

    • Username: admin

    • Password: dashboard

  • If you have changed any of the default names or password throughout the process, you will need to click the ‘Dashboard Configuration’ icon at the top-right of the dashboard and then click the Settings tab

  • Update the Variable values that correspond to your inputs as these are used in the Data Connections

  • The defaults are:

    • DATABASE_SERVER: localhost

    • DATABASE_NAME: PI_SAGE50

    • DATABASE_USERNAME: PI_SAGE50

    • DATABASE_PASSWORD: dashboard

    • DATABASE_PORT: 1433

Once these settings have been saved and the dashboard has been refreshed, the dashboard should be up and running.
