Each module in HansaWorld Enterprise contains up to eight registers and a number of settings. The main difference between registers and settings lies in the method required to open them. Registers are opened using buttons in the Master Control panel. Settings are opened from a 'Settings' list.

As far as the Report Generator is concerned, there is no distinction between registers and settings. It is equally possible to construct a report that lists all the records in the Contact register, and one that lists the records in the Customer Categories setting. There is no difference in the methodology required. In these web pages, therefore, the word "register" usually implies "register or setting".

A distinction is made between registers and settings on the one hand, and blocks on the other. Registers and settings can contain any number of records, which are displayed in a browse window when the register or setting is opened. A block can only contain a single record (e.g. Account Usage S/L), and therefore does not have a browse window. Some blocks contain a single record with a number of rows (e.g. Payment Modes and VAT Codes). A report that prints the information in a block has a different construction to one based on a register or setting: this is described here.
