MainBoss Administration

The Administration menu lets an administrator control the behavior of MainBoss. The menu offers access to the following features:

Preferences: Customizing various aspects of MainBoss to meet the needs of your organization.
Database utilities: Keeping your MainBoss database files in efficient working order, plus backing up and restoring the entire database.
Security: Restricting the ways in which other users can use MainBoss. For example, you might want to prevent unauthorized users from creating new purchase orders; the security features of MainBoss make this possible.
Archiving: The archiving process removes old records from your database files. For example, you can use this to remove work orders, work requests, and purchase orders that are more than a year old. Removing these records makes the files smaller; not only does this increase the speed of many MainBoss operations, it also makes it simpler for you to find more recent records since the tables aren't cluttered up with old entries. (Note that MainBoss's archiving facilities also let you examine old records that have been removed from your database files; therefore you can still obtain older information if necessary.)
Registration: Lets you record basic information about your organization including name, address, and logo (for use in printed purchase orders and work orders).
