Journal by account name not account number

[Mandy_L]

I have set up my new admin user to enter using account number instead of account name. For the life of me i cant remember how to turn off the account number so they are entering the account name. Is there anybody able to help please?

Hi @Mandy_L 

Thanks for your post. It is easy to forget where these options are, generally, a good place to start looking is in Setup>>Preferences. The option you want is in Setup>>Preferences>>Windows tab>>Select and Display Account name, not Account Number.

Please let me know if you need further help.

Thanks Tracey, i knew where to look, however the option wasn't showing up in the staff's myob. I have since rectified by giving the staff administrator rights, going in and setting up preferences and then assigned her back to a lower access level. I would of though there was a better way then to give administrator access rights as this then opens the rest of the software up to them in places they should not have access.
