2. BASICS OF SUKUJUTUT

Start Sukujutut by clicking the SUKUJUTUT icon.

When you are starting up Sukujutut for the first time, you are prompted for a license number. If you do not have one yet, you can start a trial version of Sukujutut by typing DEMO.

Sukujutut requests for a password, which is Eeva. You can change the password in the Parameters window. You can also inactivate the password by emptying the password entry in the Parameters window.

The File menu in the Password window contains the Restore backup command that you use to restore a backup copy of your family entries. This is a useful function when transferring data between a desktop PC and a laptop.

You can create new files for separate families by using the Create a new separate family command in the File menu of the password window. Sukujutut requests the name of the subfolder and creates it, moving a few idx files into the folder. To open the different family files, select Open another family in the File menu, which shows the files in the folder defined above.

Create an icon to your desktop with a different name for each family if you manage several families in your computer.

Usually it is most useful to save all information into the same file, because two different families often have common members.

The information is printed on the cover page of different printouts. In addition to this, you can also change the password as necessary. Any person can be defined as the startup person by typing the number of the card as the number of the startup person.

Father’s and mother’s ages are used for verifying the date of birth of a child being added, and in the printed list of missing information.

You can change the background color of the windows and some display fields in Sukujutut. If you have problems in printing the screen, try changing the colors to white. This might be necessary in some color printers, because the text may be covered by the background color.
