Command centres

There are six command centres in AccountEdge and eight in AccountEdge Plus and AccountEdge Plus NE, which includes the Payroll and Time Billing command centres. The following is an illustration of the Sales command centre in AccountEdge Plus.

Each command centre contains a row of icons in the top section of the window. These icons allow you to quickly switch between command centres.

The highlighted icon represents the current command centre, and the flowchart displayed below the icons illustrates the major tasks associated with that command centre. (For example, when the Sales icon is highlighted, tasks such as Enter Sales and Print/Email Statements—typical tasks you would complete in relation to sales—appear in the command centre’s flowchart.)

There are four menus at the bottom of each command centre. The options available from these menus are described below.


Select...	If you want to...
To Do List	record and manage tasks that need your attention, such as paying invoices to take advantage of early-payment discounts, or restocking items when stocks are low.

There are two ways of selecting a menu option:

■	Click the arrow () and hold down the mouse button next to the option you want. A menu appears, listing the available options for all command centres (not just the command centre you are in). Make a selection from this list.
