Ilium Software, the makers of eWallet, are committed to providing both high-quality software
and excellent technical support.
Getting Started with eWallet
Ilium Software’s eWallet® is an electronic wallet for your most important personal information
(credit cards, calling cards, passwords, PINs, account numbers and more). Like a real wallet,
eWallet keeps your information in cards. You can have several related pieces of information
on a card. For example, on a password card, you might have a username, a password and a
URL. You can also personalize cards with icons, colors, and on some platforms, pictures.
To help keep your cards organized, the cards you create are stored in categories. Wallet
files can have many different categories, and you can put any kind of card in any category.
In addition, you can nest categories, allowing you to place categories within categories. Like
you do with files in folders on your Windows PC, you can organize your eWallet cards and
categories however makes the most sense to you, and change how you have them organized
as needed.
You can have as many different wallets as you want, and keep different information in each
one. For example, you might want to have a personal wallet file for your own cards, but an
office wallet file that you share with an assistant or other members of your team. You can
place copies of the same cards in different files as appropriate. For example, you might want
your business credit card listed in both of your wallet files for extra convenience.
You should protect your wallet file with a password. With a password protected wallet you
must enter the wallet’s password before you can see the information on any of the cards in
that wallet. We recommend that you password-protect all of the wallets that you keep important
personal information in.
You can also choose to have a wallet that does not use a password. Anyone can open a
wallet that does not use a password. We strongly recommend that you set a password for any
wallet that contains personal information.
Adding Your Own Cards
Cards in eWallet are just like the cards you carry in your real wallet. Create cards for each of
the important pieces of information you want to carry with you.
Select the category you would like to add a card to, and then click the New Card button on
the Home or Edit ribbons.
When adding a new card, eWallet will prompt you to select a type of card. After that, you
can enter the specific information that you want to appear on the card.
eWallet gives you many options for personalizing your cards. The way you access these options
vary depending on the device you are using.
When creating a new card, or editing an existing card, select the Design or Edit Fields
ribbons to access features that let you personalize your cards.
