To start the program, the required information base must be added to the 1C launch list. Open the start window (the information base selection window), click the add button, and specify the path or connection address to the base — after that it will appear in the list and become available for login. Below is the full procedure for both the file and client-server variants, as well as typical mistakes.

What the launch list is and when you need to change it

The launch list is the list of information bases displayed in the 1C start window when the platform is opened. Each row of the list is a separate base (working, copy, test, demo). You need to add a base to the list in typical situations:

- you installed 1C:Accounting for Kazakhstan on a new computer, and the list is empty;

- the base was moved (a folder was copied or deployed on a server) and it needs to be connected at the workstation;

- you restored the base from an archive copy into a separate folder;

- the accountant keeps several organizations and a separate base is created for each;

- the base is in the list, but login is configured incorrectly — for example, user data is not saved.

How to add a base: step-by-step procedure

- Launch the 1C:Enterprise shortcut — the information base selection window (launch window) will open.

- Check whether the required base is in the list. If it is already displayed — just select it and click "1C:Enterprise" to log in.

- If the base is not there, click the add button in the launch list (usually called "Add").

- In the wizard that opens, select the option "Add an existing information base to the list" (if the base has already been created and you only need to connect it). Use the option to create a new base only when the base does not physically exist yet.

- Set the base name so that it is easy to recognize in the list (for example, with the organization's name and a note "working" or "copy").

- Specify the type of base location and the connection parameters (see the section below).

- Complete the wizard. The base will appear in the launch window list and become available for selection.

File base: specifying the path

For the file variant, the base is a folder on a disk or in a network directory. When adding, select the type "On this computer or on a computer in the local network" and specify the path to the base directory.

- The path must lead to the folder containing the base file (the information base data file), not to the file itself.

- For a network base, use the full network path to the shared folder; make sure the user has read and write permissions to this directory.

- If the folder was moved or renamed, the old row in the list will stop working — the path needs to be corrected or the base added again by its current location.

Client-server base: connection address

If the base is hosted on a 1C:Enterprise server, when adding select the type "On a 1C:Enterprise server" and specify:

- the name (address) of the 1C server cluster;

- the name of the information base on the server (as it is named in the cluster).

Check these parameters with the administrator who deployed the server. An error in the server name or base name is the most common reason the base does not connect.

If the base is in the list but login works incorrectly

When the base is already present in the list, but login is configured incorrectly (for example, user data is not saved or the program asks for the selection again every time), check the parameters of the specific list row:

- select the base and open its settings (editing the launch list row);

- make sure the correct path is specified (for a file base) or the correct server address and base name (for a client-server base);

- check that the base is added exactly as required by your configuration and location variant;

- if necessary, delete the incorrect row from the list and add the base again with the correct parameters — the base data itself is not erased when a row is deleted from the launch list, only the reference to it is removed.

Typical mistakes

- Confusing removal from the list with deleting the base. Removing a row from the launch window removes only the reference; the base files remain on the disk or server.

- Specifying the path to the file instead of the folder. For a file base, you need to specify the directory containing the base.

- Creating a new empty base instead of connecting an existing one. Carefully select the option in the wizard: "add an existing" rather than "create a new".

- No permissions to the network folder. Without write permissions, the base will open with an error or not open at all.

- Incorrect server or base name. For the client-server variant, the parameters must be taken strictly from the administrator.

- Several identical rows for one base. Duplicates confuse the user — keep one current row with a clear name.

What to check

- Whether the required base is displayed in the launch window after adding.

- Whether the path (file base) or cluster address and base name (server) is specified correctly.

- Whether the user has access permissions to the directory or to the base on the server.

- Whether the base name in the list is clear, so as not to confuse the working base with a copy or test one.

- Whether login is performed correctly and user data is saved on the next launch.

- For network and server bases — if in doubt, coordinate the connection parameters with the administrator.
