What’s New in New Sage 50 Accounts (v21)(205)
As always, you’ll still be able to make light work of your day-to-day accounts, but now you’ll also be able to take advantage of the following new features.
• New – Client Server Architecture
Sage 50’s new data service runs on the computer that holds your data to give vastly improved speed and reliability. The new architecture has been tested with over 20 concurrent users and over a million transactions.
• New – Configureable User Interface
A new user interface gives one click access to any ledger. A second click then takes you to all the major features of the software. A clever configuration mechanism allows the user to hide any ledgers or features that they never use.
• New – Automatic Backups
You can now schedule Backups and Data Checks to run automatically at predefined times. What is really clever is that the Users don’t even have to log out for the Backup to run.
• New – Access your data from anywhere
Optionally, you can now store your Sage data in the Cloud. This will allow access by Home Workers, Branch Offices and even your Accountant. Sage are also introducing some new Mobile applications that will use your cloud based data.
• New – Support for up to 20 concurrent users
The new client server architecture means that Sage 50 will reliably support many more concurrent users. As a result the current advertised limit of 10 users has been increased to 20 users.
• New – Option to hide inactive Customers, Suppliers and Products
You can now mark Customer, Supplier or Product records as inactive. This will prevent them from being used in new postings whilst still being able to view historical information if required. You also have the option to show or hide inactive records in the Customer, Supplier and Product lists.
• New – Options for selecting multiple records
You now have the option to switch to the Windows method of selecting multiple records using the Shift and Ctrl keys when clicking records.
• New – Shortcut Keys
If you prefer to use the keyboard instead of the mouse there are new keyboard shortcuts that can be used. To see what they are just press the Alt key.
• New – Simplified Access Rights
A new Access Rights dialog makes it easier to set up access rights for your users.
• New – Continuous Updates
Instead of only releasing feature updates once a year New Sage 50 will continuously update itself as new features are developed. This means that there is no longer the need for an annual major new release and corresponding year numbered name. Because of this Sage have dropped the year number from Sage 50’s name and this new version is just called “New Sage 50 Accounts”.
