It is not recommended that you run SoftDent Utilities on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. You typically run utilities in case of database corruption, most commonly expressed as SDWin DBM Error, File No. ### Error = #. There might be other instances where utilities are used to resolve or troubleshoot an issue. You should run utilities only when you are instructed to do so by a SoftDent technical support representative.
SoftDent utilities are used to:
Correct data problems
Automate tasks
Update information in databases
Make other global modifications to your system
Many of these utilities alter data and system settings; therefore, use them with extreme caution. When you run any utility, all other users must exit the application.
A telephone symbol is displayed next to any utility that should be disabled, unless you are instructed otherwise by a technical support representative.
