Setting up ASM to use sheltermanager.com

1. Sign up with sheltermanager.com

Sign up for a hosted database.

Within 24 hours of your payment, you will receive a username and password for your new hosted database via email.

2. Get ASM

Download and install Animal Shelter Manager. ASM will run on any computer platform and you can freely mix different operating systems on your database if you have MacOS, Windows and Linux/UNIX users. Note that you will need ASM version 2.1.1 or newer.

Start up ASM and it will ask where your data is located, choose "sheltermanager.com" from the dropdown and enter the sheltermanager.com username and password you were given.

Repeat step 2 for each computer you would like to use your sheltermanager.com database.

If you already have an ASM database, then you can use your sheltermanager.com database by selecting "Switch Database" from the Preferences menu in ASM and then following the instructions above.

3. Logging in for the First Time

All new databases have security reset. The default user name and password to log in to ASM is "user" and "letmein".
