How to start Matrimony Software Application

1.      Click Windows Start Button  and then click “Tulip Matrimony” program.

2.      Or you can double-click on Desktop icon “Tulip Matrimony”.

        

Welcome Screen

First you need to create your Matrimony Business Information and Login/Password.

1. Branch Name: Name of your Matrimony Business.

2. Owner Name: Owner name of your business.

3. Email: Email of the matrimony to send/receive emails.

4.Phone: contact phone number of matrimony.

5. Branch Code: Very Important. See below What is branch code.

What is Branch Code

This is very important; the branch code must be less than six characters. For example ABC or ABC1

The customer member registrations are created automatically with this branch code. For example  when you start first registration it will start as ABC-1 for first customer, ABC-2 for second customer, this is automatically generated.

What is Login and Password.

The Login and Password must be remembered otherwise you cannot use this application.

You can enter and Login Id and Password and you must remember.

Please note this Login and Password are not Window Login/Password.

This login and password used here is for matrimony application only.

Please take a note otherwise the application will not work.

Where is the data stored?

All the bride/groom profiles name, age, religion etc., are stored in Microsoft SQL Express Database.

Where are the Bride/Groom Photos stored?

Photos are NOT stored in database, which takes lot of space.

Photos are stored in C:\ProgramData\TulipMatrimony\Data\Branch<_BranchCode> folder.

Do not delete this folder or files. If you delete this folder, you will lose the bride\groom Photos. I recommend, you need to take a backup regularly.

How to add a first registration of bride/groom.

Before adding the first registration, you need to add some settings. For example, you know about your customers and their Religion, Qualification etc. So, add these attributes whenever you want.

How to add Religion, Mother Tongue, Qualification, Job etc.,?

              Please read this section carefully. System Settings are most important of your application.

System Settings Menu : On the Main Menu Click “Settings” -> “System Settings”. You need enter Password     (same password to login in Welcome Screen). For example, the User Password is abc. You need to enter the same password.

After your password is validated, you will get “System Settings” window like below. You need to add for one time of your Customer Religion, Job, Qualification etc.

DO NOT ADD ALL RELIGIONS, JOB, CASTE ETC AT ONE TIME. YOU CAN ADD ANY TIME WHENEVER YOUR CUSTOMER COMES WITH HIS/HER DETAILS.

For example, none of your customers Job is “Army”, So do not enter, adding unnecessary items in your software will cause application slow, causes confusion, and mistakes. For example, after one month a new customer comes with Job “Army”,  you can open “System Settings” at that time and add. If you have questions/doubts on this, please email to software.matrimony@gmail.com we will clarify your doubts.
