If you can provide us with some information about your computer and your Digital Waybill installation, we can provide a better estimate of how long the version 5.0 update will take.

There are 4 pieces of information required to get a better idea of how long the update will take:

  • The computer's CPU model

  • The computer's C drive type

  • The size of files in the Digital Waybill folder

  • The computer's internet speed

Getting the CPU model

  • Press the Windows key on your keyboard (between the ctrl and alt keys on the bottom left of the your keyboard). This will open the Start Menu. Type in "system information" and this should show a matching option with a computer icon. Click on this.

  • This will open a new window. Look for the line that says Processor and write down what it says next to it. You can also take a screenshot or picture of the whole row like this:

Getting the C drive type:

  • Press the Windows key on your keyboard to open the Start Menu and type in "optimize drives". This will show an option like this that you can click:

  • This will open a new window. Look for the C: drive and note down the Media type. You can also take a screenshot or photo like this:

Getting the size of Digital Waybill files:

  • Open the folder where Digital Waybill is installed. There are 2 ways of doing this.

    • If you have a shortcut for Digital Waybill on your desktop, right-click on it and select the option for "Open file location". This will open the Digital Waybill folder.

    • If you don't have a shortcut on your desktop, you can open the file explorer.

      • At the top, there is an address bar. Click on an empty part of the address bar so you can type into it. Delete the text already there and type in %appdata%. Then press the Enter key on your keyboard.

      • Look for the folder named "Digital Waybill Order Panel" and open that folder.

  • In the Digital Waybill folder, find how many numbered FileAttachmentDatabase files there are and note down the highest number. For example, the highest number in this screenshot is 3:

Getting the computer's internet speed:

  • Go to Google and search for "speedtest".

  • There should be a box on top with a button for "RUN SPEED TEST". Click that button and wait for the test to run.

  • Note down or take a screenshot or picture of the resulting numbers.

Once you have these 4 pieces of information, email us at [email protected] so we can provide a better estimate of how long the upgrade will take.
