Resetting your data in Paragon

Introduction

Now that you have had a chance to play around in Paragon and decided that it's the perfect tool for your inventory management, order fulfillment and reporting, you are probably wondering how to get rid of the sample data you have been using to explore your build. This article will walk you through how to get rid of your sample data and start fresh.
 

Reset your data in Paragon

To get started, you will need to navigate to the settings page from anywhere in Paragon by clicking the settings button.
 
 
Once you are on the settings page you will be able to see the option to reset data from the reports & data card.
 
 
 
 

It is important to note that only superuser and techpartner have access to reset data. This is to avoid anyone from resetting the data by mistake.

 
Clicking this link will open a modal allowing you to erase your data. This functionality was designed to make it easy and seamless to go-live. Depending on your selections, it will delete all references and transactions in Paragon, including any test or sample data, but any configurations you've set up will be left as is, including:
  • New attributes that you've added in attribute setup
  • Any configuration done in screen setup or the print and email configuration
  • Any WIGO report layouts that you've created and saved
  • Any custom PDF templates that you've created
Last but not least, any connections to QuickBooks Online, Shopify or other integrations will remain active, and while the data that you've imported from these add-ons will be deleted in Paragon, your data in these other systems will be left alone. 
 
You will see two options to clear your data: clear all data from my build and clear all transaction data from my build. All you need to do to erase your data is tick one of these checkboxes,  confirming that you want to continue, and then click the accept button.
