Company Logo Usage: Implementation Activity

The following activity will walk you through the process of configuring the UI to display a company logo.

Attention: This activity is based on the U100 dataset. If you are using another dataset, or if any system settings have been changed in U100, these changes can affect the workflow of the activity and the results of the processing. To avoid any issues, restore the U100 dataset to its initial state.

Story

Suppose that you are a system administrator at the Muffins & Cakes company. You need to configure the user interface to have a specific look and feel for the company, so you are starting with adding to the UI the company logo that the designer has prepared for you.

Configuration Overview

For the purposes of this activity, in the U100 dataset, on the Companies (CS101500) form, the Muffins & Cakes (MUFFINS) company has been configured.

Process Overview

In this activity, on the Companies (CS101500) form, you will specify the company logo of the Muffins & Cakes company, which will be displayed in the upper left corner of MYOB Advanced for all branches of the company.

System Preparation

Before you begin adding the company logo, do the following:

  1. Download the Muffins_logo.png file.
  2. Launch the MYOB Advanced website with the U100 dataset preloaded, and sign in to the system as system administrator Kimberly Gibbs by using the following credentials:
    • Username: gibbs
    • Password: 123
  3. On the Company and Branch Selection menu in the top pane of the MYOB Advanced screen, make sure that the Muffins Head Office & Wholesale Center branch is selected. If it is not selected, click the Company and Branch Selection menu button to view the list of branches that you have access to, and then click Muffins Head Office and Wholesale Center.
