Manual for sage line 50


















Fields that accept both letters and numbers, plus a few symbols such as hyphens or brackets, are called alphanumeric fields. Those that accept only numbers are called numeric fields and those that accept and display a date are called date fields. This is known as the field length. However, Sage Line 50 will make sure that you only enter the right type and amount of data in each field.

So, for example, you will not be permitted to enter text in a numeric field. You will also be prevented from entering a date which is not a calendar date. Other types of field validation ensure that, as far as possible, the right kind of information is entered into the appropriate field.

Any deviation from the expected data may result in the input being rejected or ignored, or in the screen displaying an error message. Each option on the menu bar provides access to a drop-down menu. If you use other software on your PC, you will probably be familiar with drop-down menus. You can open menus and choose options using the keyboard or mouse, as described below. Click on the left mouse button when the pointer is on the menu option name, to display the pull down menu.

To select an option, click on the left mouse button again when the mouse pointer is pointing to the option on the menu that you want. All menu and option names have one underlined character. You can select a menu by pressing the ALT key simultaneously with the key corresponding to the underlined character.

When the menu appears, you can select one of the options on the menu by pressing just the character underlined. For example, having opened the Edit menu, you could select the Delete Row option by pressing the D key.

The main Sage Line 50 options are on a toolbar, which displays beneath the main menu bar. To run any of these options, click on the appropriate option with the left mouse button. When you run one of these options, a separate window will appear with its own toolbar options.

You can however run these options without a mouse by pressing the ALT key and the underlined character shown on the option, at the same time. Command buttons appear in most of the Sage Line 50 option windows. Use these to take action once you have entered some data or selected a record to work with.

Command buttons appear on virtually every window and include one or more of the following commands:. Save does not. When there are too many buttons to display on the visible window, for example if you are using a low display resolution, a double-arrow symbol appears to the right-hand side of the command button bar.

Click the arrow symbol to access the remaining available buttons:. To type data into a form, you can move the arrow-shaped pointer the cursor to the field area where you want to enter data, at which stage the pointer changes to a vertical bar called the insertion pointer. Move the cursor to the part of the field where you want to begin typing and click the left hand mouse button.

If the field is blank, an insertion pointer appears at the far left of the box. If there is data already in the field, the insertion pointer appears at the same place as the cursor was positioned when you clicked the mouse button. When you click Save, a blank screen appears, ready for another record.

If you want to recall your last record, click on the drop-down list button represented by a down-ward pointing arrow and this will give you a list, in alphanumeric order, of all the records that have been entered. Find the record reference that you want and select it with your mouse.

After you have entered data within a field, you can use any of the following keys, found on your keyboard, to locate the cursor elsewhere within the field or the form:. Alternatively, you can use the mouse to place the cursor wherever you want and click the left mouse button to accept the location.

To add characters within a field, simply place the cursor at the point you want to start typing and click the left mouse button.

When you type, characters are inserted from the cursor position, displacing existing characters to the right of the cursor. To delete several characters at once, you can highlight the text using the mouse.

To delete a whole line on transaction entry screens, place the cursor in any field and press F8. You can enter some field entries by selecting from a drop-down list box. Such fields are indicated by a down-pointing arrow in a small box at the right-hand end of the field. When you click on a drop-down arrow in a list box, the program opens a list of the first few choices. To make a selection, click on the option you want, and it appears in the field box.

If necessary, use the scroll bar to move down the full list. Windows and drop-down lists will not always be able to display all of the records or fields that can be selected. Where a window has more to display than can be shown at one time, a scroll bar appears at the right-hand side of the window, like the one shown on the drop-down list box above. To use the scroll bar, click on the up or down arrows, holding the mouse button down, to scroll the list up or down respectively.

Alternatively, drag the empty box in the scroll bar up or down using the mouse. Option buttons that appear in Sage Line 50 let you select one action, from two or more possible actions.

You can only select one option button. In this example, the Top Left option is selected. You select an option button by clicking on the required option with the left mouse button a dot appears in the selected option , or use the TAB key to move the cursor to the option button area, then select the button with the arrow keys.

Check boxes let you select one or more of the actions you require from a range of actions. For example, in the Graph windows, you can show different types of transactions. Select a check box by clicking with the left mouse button on the required box a tick appears. To clear a check box, repeat the procedure so that the tick does not appear in the box.

All those fields which require you to enter a date have a Calendar button attached. When you click this button a calendar appears from which you can select the date you need using your mouse. When you click this button, a calendar appears from which you can select the required date.

To help you perform your calculations, a Calculator button is attached to many numeric data-entry boxes. When you click this button a mini calculator is displayed, which you can use like an everyday calculator with clicks of your mouse.

The results seen on the on-screen calculator appear in the numeric data entry box. There are often times as you use Sage Line 50, where you require additional information about an account or transaction.

At the click of a button, the 'Smart Link' feature allows you to move from the screen you are working in to another window containing related data. Your account information becomes more accessible as you work.

For example, when you enter an invoice, you may want to check the customer's details. Click on the arrow button alongside the account code field to go to the customer's record details.

You can click on a transaction listed on a customer, supplier, bank or nominal activity window to drill down into the associated order, invoice or credit note details. The following example shows the same transaction listed on the Bank Activity window. Sage Line 50 uses function keys in several areas to access a number of important features, including the calculator and the Help features.

Several of these keys are context sensitive, meaning that they will only perform their function when you have selected an appropriate box. However, if your cursor, in the same screen, is in the Name box, nothing would happen if you pressed F4. F1 Press this key to bring up Help that relates to the particular window you are using. For example, if you are in the Customers window and press F1, the Help system will display assistance on the Customers function.

F2 This key brings up the calculator which you can use with the mouse, in the same way you would use a normal calculator. F3 This key brings up the Edit Item Line window when you are entering an invoice using the Invoicing option. F4 This button is a shortcut to the calendar, calculator or record list, if the selected text box that you are using has any of these functions attached.

Also if you select a drop-down list box, you can press F4 to display this list. F5 If you press this key it brings up the Currency Calculator when the focus is in a numeric box. It will display the Spell Checker if the cursor is in a text box.

F6 Press this button in the appropriate screen to copy data from the box immediately preceding it. For example, when entering invoice data in the Customers window, press F6 to copy the data from the box immediately above it. This speeds up the process of entering the same data. F7 Using F7 inserts a blank row in a list. For example, if you need to insert a blank row for another customer invoice in the Customer Invoice window, place your cursor on an existing row, press F7 and a new blank row appears immediately above the list where your cursor rests.

F9 Use this key in a relevant field to calculate the Net amount from any Gross tax values. F11 This button launches the Windows control panel, so, for example, you could access your Internet options without having to minimise or close down your Sage Line 50 program. F12 By default, the F12 key launches the Report Designer.

Alternatively, you can configure this button to launch another program on your PC, or minimise your Sage Line 50 program. When you first run many of the Sage Line 50 options, the active window shows you the record or records you can work with.

In some options, you must first create these records; in others, you are given a standard set of records to work with straight away. As you create each new record, it is added to the list in code or reference order, so that you can always find the record you want quickly. You can sort this list in any column-type order by clicking on the header range, for example Balance or Contact.

A scroll bar appears when there are more records to be viewed than can be displayed in the list box at any one time. When you want to work with a single record, for example if you want to make a transfer from a bank account, you can select the record from the list before you click the appropriate button from the toolbar.

This saves you from selecting the record once the process window, for example the Bank Transfer window, is open. To select a record from a ledger window, move the mouse pointer to the record in the list and left click. The selected record is highlighted in the list. There may be times when you want to process several records in succession, or print a report based on a particular selection of records. Using the same method as when selecting one record, you can click on as many records in the list as you want.

As you do so, each one is highlighted and becomes part of the selected set of records for processing. Tip: You can also select the records you want by using your cursor arrows on your keyboard to scroll down or up, and pressing the SPACEBAR to select the record or records you want.

If you select several records and then click Record, for example if you want to make amendments to several records in succession, the first record highlighted in the list appears on the record window ready for processing. When you finish processing that record, you can view the next one in the selection by clicking the Next button. To go back to a previous record from the ones you have chosen, click the Previous button. You will find it useful to be able to select several records when using the report options.

You can highlight all the records you want to include in the report before choosing the report you want to print. The balance may show as one total amount, for example on the Invoicing window, or it may display as total debit and credit amounts, such as in the Nominal Ledger.

Note: The total debit or total credit only display on the Nominal Ledger when it is set to use the List layout. Having highlighted a record you may want to deselect it, either because you have finished processing it or perhaps because you selected the wrong one. If you have highlighted records that you no longer want selected, click the Clear button.

Any records that were highlighted are deselected, and no records are left highlighted. By using the Swap button, you can change the selection to those that are not highlighted.

You can swap back again using the same button. You can sort the records in most Sage Line 50 windows by ascending, descending or alphabetical order, depending on the information in the list. Click with the mouse button on the column name to sort the records. When you close and restart Sage Line 50, any sorts that you apply are remembered. Many of the windows can show more columns of data if you maximise the window.

Try it and see. As you become more familiar with the ledgers and windows in Line 50, you may find that you use some data columns more than others. Using the Configurable Columns feature, you can hide certain data columns that you do not use very frequently, allowing more room on-screen for those columns that you use more often. You can also resize the columns on-screen to make the best use of the space available, according to your needs. Line 50 stores the settings you select against your user name, so you can personalise your program view without affecting other users.

When you next log into the program, Line 50 remembers your settings and displays each window as you configured it. Note: You can customise the program's columns for all users at once, so that every user sees the same data column configuration regardless of their user name. To do this, log in using the 'Manager' user name, choose Tools then Options from the menu bar, and select the 'Use Manager account settings for column display' check box.

You can then set up the columns in each option of Line 50 as you want them to appear for all users. From the appropriate Line 50 window, hover your mouse pointer over the label in the heading of the column you want to resize. Move the mouse pointer so that it appears between the column heading labels:. When it is positioned correctly between the column headings, your mouse pointer appears as a cross with a double-headed arrow pointing to the left and right.

To increase the column width, left-click the mouse and hold the button down. With the left mouse button held down, drag the mouse pointer towards the right until the column is at the width you require. Release the left mouse button. To reduce the column width, left-click the mouse and hold the button down.

With the left mouse button held down, drag the mouse pointer towards the left until the column is at the width you require. To reset all of the columns in the current window to their default width, right-click on any column heading and select 'Use Defaults' from the drop-down menu. Welcome to ManualMachine.
