About the Sage 300 Desktop

The Sage 300 desktop appears when you open your company database.

• A ribbon at the top shows frequently used commands.
• The left pane shows folders that contain all the accounting and maintenance programs you use.
• The right pane shows the tasks and subfolders that a selected folder contains.

Note: If you have not created a company database, both panes will be blank.

From the desktop, you can:

• Start programs and services by double-clicking icons for programs or services or by selecting them with the Tab and arrow keys and then pressing Enter. (You can get help for a specific program or service by opening the item, and then pressing F1.)
• Set up your own workspace containing the programs you use often, and make choices for your window display and print settings. (See Customizing the desktop.)
• Record and run macros to automate tasks. (See Creating a macro.)
