Data Hosting - Adding a Hosted Company.

Data Hosting - Adding a Hosted Company.

Step 1: Add a company for sharing

  • Click on  Setup > Data Hosting  menu option.
  • Click on the   Hosted Companies   tab.
  • Click on the   Add   button.

 

  • Select the company you wish to host/share from the list, by clicking on the drop-down arrow in the  Company  box. e.g. Company JKL.

 

  • You can select specific accounting year/s to share by clicking on the drop down arrow in the  Don't sync years on//before  box. e.g. 2015.

Note: Picking a year from this list will stop Data Hosting from sending and receiving updates for any year on or prior to the specified year. For Example: If you select 2015 from the  Don't sync years on/before  box, you are allowing data from the Current Year and subsequent years available to be sent and received to and from your computer. This will not impact any other people this company may be shared with.

This function is to protect you from having your data overwritten by another authorised user. (see below)

  • Click  OK  to upload data.

 

  • An Uploading data window will appear.

  The company will now appear in your  Hosted Companies  list.

  • My Company:
    • Ticked - If you are the owner of this hosted company.
    • Unticked - If you are not the owner of this hosted company, i.e. it has been shared with you.
  • Users:  If  My Company  is ticked, this will show how many users you have shared this company with. Otherwise it will be zero.
