Multiple Companies

This feature enables you to point to other Ostendo databases created via the ‘Copy / Create Company’ screen.  These Databases are given a ‘Company Colour’ in this screen and made available to users on your network. 

Entry and Display fields

Company ID: Enter a short name of the Company.  This name will appear on the Ostendo Main screen whenever this Company is accessed.

Company Colour: From the drop-down list select the colour that you associate to this company.  A box with this colour will surround the company name box on the main Ostendo screen.  This provides a visual reference to the current - signed on - company.

Computer Name: This is the name of the Computer/System where this database is residing.

Database File Name: Locate the database in the folder where it is placed.

Buttons

Close: This will close the Multi-Companies screen.  If you have any unsaved data then you will be asked if you wish to save it before the screen is closed.

Add: This will send the cursor to a new line for entry of a new Company.

Save: This will save the current data without exiting the screen

Cancel: Any changes made since the line was actioned or the last time the ‘Save’ Button was pressed will be lost.

Delete: This removes the current highlighted Company from this list.  You should be aware that this only removes the link; it will not delete the database from your computer.
