Moving the REST folder

REST User Record clean up

If you have user records that need to be deleted because that user is no longer with you, this would be a good time to make any changes, as you will be able to reassign records to a different user at the end of the update process.

To Delete a user record, go to the Preferences area of REST and show all Users.

Choose the User record you want to delete and click the Delete button (top right side of screen). This can be done in List view or Detail view. Be sure you are on the User record you want to delete!

This can only be done with an Owner Level Access!

Proceeding with REST Update

Double-click to open the REST folder to reveal the contents.

Locate the REST.fp7 file

a. Copy the REST.fp7 file (command-c or right-click). Example shows the RESTv35.fp7 file. Yours may be another version.

b. Paste the REST.fp7 file to your desktop (command-v or right-click).

Renaming your old REST file
