Setup Instructions Follow the guidelines listed below to set up the student and trainer s workstation. Workstations should run Sage MAS 90 on their local drives Company codes SB1 and SB2 (Superior Bicycles, Inc.) are used for in-class activities Company codes GL1, LAB, and LA2 are used for labs Sage MAS 90 should have security enabled When creating the SB2 company, enter the following address information: Superior Bicycles, Inc., 56 Technology, Irvine, CA, 92618. The phone number is 800-854-3415. Create a Supervisor role with access to all tasks, security events, and module options Define the RMD user with a name of Robin and a user code of RMD. Assign the Supervisor role created for all companies to this user. Passwords are not required The accounting date of 4/30/10 is used for in-class activities and labs. Define this date as the accounting date for all modules. All workstations should have access to a laser printer Define the printer as the default printer on each workstation Printing in Class Many in-class activities include steps to print reports. The trainer should indicate what output method the students should use for these activities. By setting up a user logon with supervisory rights, students can preview and update the registers and Daily Transaction Register. If the students are printing to an actual printer during class, review the steps for changing the company name in Company Maintenance to their name at the beginning of the class. This aids in the distribution of printouts. Core Training v10.0 (Revised - 2/6/2006) Page 3
