Zip up an Aloha Dated Sub folder

Each day the Aloha system starts, it creates a subfolder that is named in the following format YYYYMMDD where YYYY= the current year, MM = the current month, DD = the current day. A dated sub for August 11, 2016 would be named 20160811.

  1. To locate a dated sub and zip it up for us do the do the following
  2. On the Aloha BOH PC, click on computer (or My Computer)
  3. You'll see the D or C drive in this window - double click to get onto the D or C drive (Aloha data) - where your Aloha data files exist.
