Administrator

The administrator's role in accounting software grants comprehensive control and oversight over the entire system. Administrators have the authority to manage user accounts, set permissions, configure system settings, generate reports, and ensure data security. With their elevated access rights, administrators play a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity, efficiency, and security of the accounting software. The administrator possesses the authority to establish Company/Organization settings and configure Modules/Applications.

1. Dashboard

The administrator dashboard provides a visual representation of sales, assets, bank details, total sales, total invoices, and invoice dates through charts and diagrams.

The administrator conveniently locates crucial data within a unified dashboard, allowing for easy identification of financial transactions.

2. Setup

2.1 Company/Organization

Only the administrator has the authority to modify your company/organization details.

Within this interface, you can update the company details and save your changes. Once saved, the modifications will be reflected in the company details page.

2.2. Modules/Application Setup

This section displays all the features available within the application.

The Modules setup functionality allows checking the availability of modules, activating or deactivating them, and editing their configurations.

If you possess coding knowledge, you can develop your module using the Native Module Builder Wizard.

2.3. Menus

The menu setup is the next step for an administrator module.

Using the menu functionality, administrators can manage, edit, and create menu sections.

The menu handler manages both the standard menu manager and the smartphone menu manager. Menu styles can be set separately for internal users and external users.

The menu editor enables you to define custom menu entries, thus personalizing the menu handler.

When creating a new entity, no menus are initially available within that specific entity. With this menu function, you can easily generate a menu for a particular entity.

2.4 Emails Setup

You can send emails through the application using the SMTP/SMTPS host and port method.

Prior to submitting an email, ensure you have the sender's and recipient's email addresses, as well as the error return email ID.

If you want to send mail, you can set the delivery acknowledgement, subject, sender, receiver, and error mail and attach your file to inside the sending mail.

In outgoing emails, you have the option to configure and adjust mail settings, including SMTP/SMTPS host setup, SMTP/SMTPS port setup, and selection of SSL and STARTTLS encryption.

In the email template section, you can select the language, template type (user, public, or private), and position.

Currently, you can attach a file and specify a subject value using this template.

Likewise, you can configure a mail sender profile using this form, including label value, sender email, position, and status.
