Entering a Person Record

If you are using Standard Accounts, open the Person register by first ensuring you are in the System module and then clicking the [Persons] button in the Master Control panel. If you are using Standard Nominal Ledger, simply click the [Persons] button in the Master Control panel. If you are using any other Standard product, click the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel (or use the ⌘-S keyboard shortcut) to open the 'Settings' list and then double-click 'Persons' in the list. In all cases, the 'Persons: Browse' window will open, showing Persons that have already been entered.

To create a new Person record, click the [New] button in the Button Bar or use the ⌘-N keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, highlight a Person similar to the one you want to enter and click [Duplicate] on the Button Bar.

The 'Person: New' window will be opened, empty if you clicked [New] or containing a duplicate of the highlighted Person.

Signature
The Signature is the Person's log-in ID.

Name
The name of the Person.

Our Reference
Use the Our Ref field to assign a short (up to 20 characters) reference text for the employee. This text will appear in the Our Ref field in all Invoices entered by the Person.

Personal ID
In countries where personal identity cards are carried, enter the Person's ID number from their card here.

Closed
Check this box if the Person is no longer to be used. A closed Person cannot log in to your Standard database, but can be re-opened at any time.
When the Person record is complete, save it using the [Save] button and close the window by clicking the close box. Remember to give the Person a password and, if the Person will need to use it, to activate the Personal Desktop for them, using the functions on the Operations menu.
