Enhanced Navigation in MYOB Advanced 2018.1

How to switch to the new Modern UI

At first login, you will have the option to switch to the Modern UI.

Workspaces

The main difference in the modern UI is the concept of “Workspaces” on the left-hand side and the Search List.

To make a permanent switch to the Modern UI, change the user profile by thinking the box down the bottom.

If you look at Sales Orders or Receivables or Finance, you will see a new concept called “Workspace”. This is a new interface consisting in “Tyles” up the top and “Entry Forms” set up in different Categories.

Categories are predefined but can be changed in Edit mode. Favourites can also be setup by ticking the star next to the name of the Entry Form you wish to mark up.

Edit Mode

Parameters in the new MYOB Advanced Dashboard

The new Dashboard interface in MYOB Advanced can be filtered by salesperson through the new field called “Parameters”. Once a salesperson is selected, the dashboard will show you the information for that particular salesperson.

You can set up the system to have Parameters for other attributes such as Company,  Branch, Financial Period, Customer and more.

User Help and Quick Guides

User help has been refreshed – it gives you all the procedures for the screen that you are in that particular moment.

To complement this, you have Quick Guides with more information on various modules and functionalities.

Finance Module

 Companies and Branches

GST / Taxes – You can now setup different tax periods by different companies – you can run multiple legal entities, set them up on different financial periods and close them independently from each other.

In MYOB Advanced 2018.1, Company has also been renamed as “Tenant” and Branch as “Company”. Within each Company, you can have multiple Branches.
