Options Reference
Each option and field on the form is described below. Mandatory options and fields are highlighted in red.
Station code
Enter a unique code to represent the station, up to 30 characters long. The default value is the name of the computer. If the station is set up and saved using this as the station code, Greentree assumes that this is the station that is being used when Sales Entry is accessed from that computer.
If a station is saved under a different code, Greentree prompts the user to specify which station they are using when they access the Sales Entry form from their computer.
