System Requirements.
How do I find out more about the new features in
Version 13? [ Top ]
Use the New Feature Tour in the Business Center to get familiar
with the many powerful new features in DacEasy Version 13. The Tour
presents each new feature in an easy-to-follow format. Once you are
familiar with the feature, you can click 'Take Me There' to go
directly to that feature.
What changes can I make to the Business Center
appearance? [ Top ]
The ability to quickly access all modules from the Business
Center can be a real time-saver; however, you may not want to see
all DacEasy modules or tasks if you only use a single module. That's
why DacEasy allows you to select a scheme for a particular module
and now also customize the Business Center toolbar. The scheme
changes the appearance of the standard toolbar, menu bar, Activities
pages and Workflow Guides. Now you can also create and maintain
customizable toolbars in the Business Center. You can define as many
toolbars as needed to fit your daily, weekly or periodic needs.
What improvements have been made to the Backup
and Restore routine? [ Top ]
The new improvements to the Backup and Restore routine include
the following:
- Improved warning and error messaging.
- Warning and messages are consistent across all modules.
- Accurate progress indicator of Backup/Restore routine.
- Ability to cancel the Restore routine was added to the
Business Center with the new Enable Rollback option.
- Backup or restore to a directory tree that does not exist
(including subdirectories on remote drives).
- Uniquely identifies relationship between multiple backup disks
and does not allow you to mix and match backup disks when
restoring data.
- Preemptive notification if backup may not fit on destination
media.
- Preemptive notification if restore will not fit on target
location.
- Deletes the incomplete backup file if you select to cancel the
Backup routine. This prevents you from attempting to restore an
incomplete backup file.

Where can I access the new Direct Deposit
History information in Version 13 DacEasy Payroll? [ Top ]
You can easily access the new Direct Deposit History information
in DacEasy Payroll from several locations. This first area you can
access this information is the Direct Deposit report that appears
when you create and transmit your direct deposit file. This report
includes payment information for the current payroll and appears
once the transfer is complete. You can also view the Direct Deposit
History from the Edit Employee Information and Edit
Employee Accumulation dialog boxes. Simply view an employee
using direct deposit on either of these dialog boxes, and then
select History. Select a direct deposit
transaction, and then select Deposits. Lastly, the
most powerful way to access this information is creating your own
custom report using DacAccess or Crystal Reports®.
