New Object (Object menu - Desktop)

Use this dialog box to enter the name of the new object you are adding to the Sage 300 desktop.

You can add Sage 300programs, macros, reports, and other Windows or DOS programs to any folder on the Sage 300 desktop. You can also create new folders.

Any object you add will be added to the currently selected folder.

For example, you could add two personal folders to your desktop:

  • Put icons for all the Sage 300 tasks you use into a folder called “My Tasks.”
  • Put the icons for objects that you want started automatically when you start Sage 300 into a folder called “Startup.”

To add new objects to the desktop:

  1. Choose New from the Object menu, and then choose the type of object you are adding from the submenu.

  2. Type a title for the object you are adding. The title appears on the Sage 300 desktop with the object’s icon. The icon for new macros will also appear on the Sage 300 Web desktop if you choose that option on the second screen.

  3. Choose Change Icon to select a different icon for the object.
  4. Select the All Users option so this new object will appear on the Sage 300 desktops of all the users who open the database. (Once the object has been added to the desktop, you cannot change the All Users option.)
  5. If you are adding a folder, click Finish to add the folder to the desktop.(See also New Folder Wizard.)
  6. Otherwise, click Next to proceed to the next wizard page. Click the following links for each individual object:
