Navigation Links
The bottom of most BIG4books.com small business accounting software pages
have a set of navigation links used to navigate to other pages.
Login as a User
When your BIG4books.com account is created, your first 'User' account is
automatically created, and the login information is sent to you in a confirmation email. Additional
'User' accounts may be created when you are logged in as your administrator. ( see below ).
When you log in as a ( non-administrator ) user,
you will be brought to one intermediate screen which has some options for adjusting your user account,
including the option to change your password. The intermediate screen also has a button that should be
clicked to bring you to the main accounting screen.
At the main accounting screen, you use a navigation menu on the left side of the screen to navigate
through the accounting software. Accounting functions are brought up in the main screen, where you
enter data, select options, and perform the main accounting functions. Once your account is setup,
you will spend the bulk of your time working with the accounting software from this main accounting
screen and the accounting navigation menu.
Login as Administrator
Each BIG4books.com organization account has an administrator, with a
specific login username and password. After you login as administrator, a screen is presented with various
options for managing your BIG4books.com organization account. Some of these options include creating and
modifying 'user' accounts for your organization, changing your selected service options, performing
accounting data base backups and restore, and others.
When logged in as administrator, you will not be able to perform normal accounting functions. The administrator
login is only used for managing your organization's account.
