Managing Multiple Databases and Transferring Session Data

Using Multiple Databases

By default, emWave PRO uses a single database named emwave.emdb. However, you can enable multiple databases to organize your data by client groups (e.g., alphabetical or numerical) or to keep individual user files separate.

• Enable the Feature:

  • Windows: Go to Edit > Preferences and check “Enable Multiple Databases”.

  • Mac: Click the emWave PRO icon > Preferences and check “Enable Multiple Databases”.

• Performance Tip: We recommend keeping individual database files at or below 20 MB to ensure the program runs at maximum performance.

• Create New Database: Go to File > New Database. Give it a unique name (anything except emwave.emdb) and save it.

• Open Database: Use File > Open Database to switch between files. Note that when opening a new database for the first time, you will be required to create an initial User for that file.

Moving Sessions Between Users (Same Database)

If a session was accidentally recorded under the wrong profile, you can easily move it:

1. Navigate to the Review Progress view.

2. Select Sessions:

   • Windows: Hold Control and click individual sessions, or use Shift + Click to select a range.

   • Mac: Use the Command key or Shift + Click.

3. Execute Move: While the sessions are highlighted, switch to the target user from the User menu.

4. Confirm: Click OK when the dialog box appears asking for confirmation to move the session(s).

Copying Data Between Different Databases

With “Multiple Databases” enabled, you can transfer records between files:

1. Open both the Source and Target databases.

2. Open the Progress window for both.

3. In the source window, highlight the sessions you wish to move.

4. Go to Edit > Copy.

5. Click on the target database window to make it active.

6. Navigate to the destination user (or create a new one) and go to Edit > Paste.
