Application Maintenance Overview

You can customize the system to meet your company's needs for different applications—anything from setting up each user with a unique application interface to linking your company terminals and printers to each other and the host system.

Use application maintenance programs to define the dates your business is closed, to maintain current area codes for all of your entities and contacts, and to create musical tunes that alert users to system messages. You can also customize the application so that all menus, screens, and order entry views help your users to attain high-level performance.

Use the following application maintenance programs to tailor the system to meet your company's unique requirements:
