How to Change the Look and Feel of MYOB Advanced
Shortcuts and visual cues provide some of the easiest ways to streamline your most common work tasks, and MYOB Advanced is so flexible that each user can customise their personal views and shortcuts to improve their own workflows.
Add a website to your dashboard (watch)
Adding the website of a supplier or another commonly visited website directly to your MYOB Advanced home dashboard can save time.
Change the colours on your MYOB Advanced screens (watch)
If all your MYOB Advanced screens look the same, it can be hard to tell which company (or test company) you’re working in. By changing the colours in your different companies, you will always know which company you’re working in.
Optimise your screen layouts and access data faster
Each user can develop their own layouts to boost their productivity.
Rearrange grids and create filters (watch)
There are 2 ways to rearrange the columns in your grid reports. You can also filter the information on your screen, so you only see what’s relevant to your current inquiry. Best of all, your grid rearrangements are personalised to you – every member of your team can view the same grid differently!
Create custom tabs (watch)
Each screen provides a series of tabs that help you view specific data. On a Sales Order screen, a specific tab could display all the credit card transactions.
Save time with repeat orders
Copy and paste an order / create order templates (watch)
Often, you’ll have a customer who makes the same order at regular intervals. Instead of creating their order from scratch each time, you can either copy/paste an order or create document templates.
Store helpful documents within Advanced (watch)
You can easily drag and drop documents directly from your computer files into MYOB Advanced. This helps you use Advanced more efficiently because it creates a single lookup point for your team to find important documents with the universal search.
Refresh Excel spreadsheets with updated MYOB Advanced data (watch)
Many business leaders know that they can download their MYOB Advanced data into Excel, but few of them know that they can then refresh their Excel spreadsheet with up-to-date MYOB Advanced data.
Simplify your month-end close by setting the date (watch)
Closing the books at the end of the month always requires you to enter data past month-end. This tip makes it easy to ensure that your entries will remain in the month they belong in, instead of the current month.
