Grassroots.org

Grassroots.org is excited to introduce the new Data Management tool from Surgical Grade Software offered for free to members! It is in the Grassroots.org Toolbox and ready for use.

What is the Data Management Tool?

The Data Mangement tool allows your organization to share company data with your team and access it online from any PC. Search, sort, filter, print, or export your data as needed into a wide range of formats.

Downloadable with a one-click install, you can customize the application and configure it for your needs. Import your existing data from text or Excel files and make your client contact info, spreadsheets and more accessible online. The software runs under Microsoft Windows™ and stores data in a SQL Server database. You can set up a database through your Grassroots.org hosting account.

Getting Started

If you are a Grassroots.org member then you can simply login to your Toolbox and click on the Data Management icon.

If you are not yet a Grassroots.org member please here.
