Add a new user to Moneyworks
This section describes how to add a new usercode to Moneyworks.
Select Sharing & Users from the File menu.
Highlight an existing username with the same access privileges as the new one you want to create
Click the Duplicate button
Enter the User Name, initials and password.
Check the privileges for the new user.
A staff member with standard privileges should have the following options turned on:
These options allow a user to enter purchases orders and also allows Moneyworks to run the add-on script which warns the user if they modify an authorised Purchase Order
Copy User Preferences
Turn on the option Select Filters.
If you were able to copy the User Preferences from another existing user then you don’t need to follow this step.
. 8. Click the OK button to save the new User’s record.
Giving a new user access to Reports
One of the privileges is called Form & Report Signing and this should only be given to administration users as this gives them access to all reports. General staff members do not have this privilege and therefore cannot print reports by default. This section describes how to “sign” particular reports so a new user can print them.
Log onto a usercode with access to Sharing & Users
Click the Signing button
In the top part of the window, highlight the user to whom you want to give access to a report.
In the bottom half of the window, highlight the form or report to which you want to give the user access.
Click the Sign button
Click on the Upload button
Highlight the Report you’ve just signed
Click Upload One to upload the report to the server
Click the Close button and then the Done button to save your changes and close the User Preferences window.
Restricting user access to Transactions
This section describes how to set the filters for each user so that they can only see Purchase Orders they’ve enter or have permission to view. If you have copied the User Preferences from an existing user then you shouldn’t have to do this step. You should however still log on to the new usercode and check the filters are correct.
Log on to the usercode that you want to set
Select Show | Transactions
Click on View by Orders, then on the Purchase Order Tab
Select the appropriate filter for this user from the filter pop up menu
Now click on each of the View by Orders tabs in turn and set the filter for each one
Now do the same for each of View by Type, View by Period, View by Status
Adding the authorisation columns
This section describes how to add two columns to the Purchase Order tab so that a user can see whether a Purchase Order has been authorised or not. If you have copied the User Preferences from an existing user to make the new usercode, then you probably will not have to do this step.
Make sure you are on the Purchase Order tab
Right click anywhere in the list of transactions.
Select Customise List View from the popup menu
Add two new columns by adding the Heading [your calculation here] to the list of fields to be displayed.
Edit each new column in turn so they are named “Auth 1” and “Auth 2” respectively.
Edit the Auth 1 column so it displays the first authorisation field.
Edit the Auth 2 column so it displays the first authorisation field.
Click OK to save your changes.
Turning off filters
This section describes how to turn off the privilege called ‘Select Filters’. It is vital that this is turned off for each user once the correct filter has been set. If it is not, then the user will have access to all Purchase Orders.
Log on to a usercode with access to Sharing & Users
Select Sharing & Users and double click on the user you are dealing with.
Turn off the Select Filters for the user you’ve just set up.
Click OK to save your changes.
Installing scripts
In addition to Moneyworks, each user requires additional scripts installed to prevent them modifying authorised Purchase Orders and to allow them to authorise Creditor Invoices. These scripts are listed below but you will need to refer to the separate documentation for information on how to install them.
Authorisation Script
Helper Script
There are two versions of this script — a Windows version and a Mac version. The appropriate one should be installed for each user who will be entering Purchase Orders, generally the teaching staff. It is essential this is installed as it warns the users if they modify an authorised Purchase Order plus it will delete the authorisation if they do.
Emailer
Authorise Invoice
It should be installed for each user who has access to enter Purchase Orders. It allows the user to authorise a creditor invoice based on the details of the invoice that has been emailed to them.
