The appearance of the Main Menu for your company depends on the scope of services ordered by you. The user gets access to those tabs for which a contract has been signed, so it may happen that he has access to the „Accounting Services”, section, but not to the „Payroll Services” or „Business Services”. For administrative and legal reasons, the information for each service or for each contract are stored in a separate document library. We call this area a library because here we save the documents and reports that we produce and make available to you. The documents in this section are read-only ones giving protection against accidental deletion or alteration of data being thus an additional safeguard.
