The very first thing to do is create a Branch and User to use this software.
Branch : You can have multiple Branch or just one single branch of your Matrimony Business, So you need to create a Branch with some Branch CODE for example "HYD" as Hyderabad branch. This is important, because the registrations IDs of the Bride/Groom profiles will be created as HYD-1, HYD-2, HYD-3 etc, in this branch,
Branch Name : Enter Name of your Branch.
Branch Code : Branch code example "ABC", maximum up to 5 characters.
Email : Enter email id, by entering email id, you can send emails, send bride/groom profiles to your customers directly using this application.
Phone : The phone number is included in the emails you sent to your customers.
User Account : A user with login/password is required to make the application secure,
Enter User surname, name ,
Enter Login Id
Enter Password, and Conform Password.
VERY IMPORTANT : Remember your Password or Note the password, otherwise you cannot login to your application.
Welcome Screen :
Once Branch and User Account is successfully created, The Welcome screen displays. Here enter the password for User to Login.
After successful login, now you are ready to use this application.
Note : The Branch and User details can be changed under System Settings Menu. Branch code cannot be changed.
This is an important topic on how to add Religion/Caste/Qualification etc and configuration.
Your matrimony business may be specific to some Religion/Castes or specific region, so this software does not have any default Religion/Caste etc. You need to add them to settings. For example, there are thousands of different "Qualifications" and many kinds of "Job" so you need to add those to settings. Please note, you do NOT required to add all Castes/Qualifications/Jobs etc. You can add any time when required, so PLEASE DO NOT add all Religion/Caste etc which are not required. If you add unwanted data in settings, the software will perform very badly, keep this in mind. For example, if a new customer comes to you whose "Job" is 'Carpenter', at that time you can add this 'Carpenter' Job to settings. Otherwise don't add all kinds of 'Jobs' in the world. Also, this is same for Religion/Caste/Qualification/Job/State/District etc.
Settings Menu : You need to configure System Settings. It depends on how this application runs. As these are Settings secured and protect from authorized changes to application. You need to provide the same password as user logged in.
Enter the User Login Password, to Add/Modify/Delete System Settings.
Please note you cannot delete system setting if that setting is used by some profile in database.
Add: You need add these entries here, so that they will be available in application.
Modify: You can modify the names at any time.
Delete: You can delete any entry if that is not used by any membership.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
DO NOT
1. Don’t create duplicates. For example, B.A and BA. 2. Do not create all entries at one time, instead add only when required.
Matrimony Application
Dos
1. Create only entries which are required. You can add new entries any time. So, don’t create all entries now. Instead create a new entry when a member comes with new item. For example you have created Education as B.A and B.Com, now a new member came his/her education is B.E. Then at that time just create a new entry. This will make you less confusion and more robust application.
These are the System settings for every registered member requires

There may be cases we need to update customer profiles when required. For example, customer has changed his address, or got a new Job or higher education. Sometimes, we may not get full details at the time of registration. So there are many cases we need to update the profiles.

Stars requirement is automatically selected by customer's star, but you can select or un-select by the customer specific requirement.
Height Requirement : between the heights of From and to, example 5ft to 5ft 10in.
