• Don't see any MYOB Essentials files listed? Maybe you haven't been given access to your practice's files. A practice administrator can log in to MYOB Essentials and give you access.

The Online files view gives you a great overview of your work, but you can also click different icons and links to get to the right place to see more information and get things done.

This table shows you where different links and icons will take you.

When you click some of these links, you may be taken to a page to set things up first if you haven't already done so.

You can sort your business list by any column. For example, click the Unallocated column header, and the businesses with the most unallocated transactions will appear first, so you can get to work right away. Or click the Automated header to see which businesses are not taking advantage of allocation rules to improve efficiency. To reverse the sort order, click the header again.

Right-click on the header of the list to select the columns best suited for your work.

See how many transactions remain to be allocated for each client, across all their bank accounts for the selected 12 months.

Click the Unallocated indicator to review the bank feed transactions that still need to be allocated:

• For businesses using the new MYOB Essentials: Clicking Unallocated will take you to the Bank transactions page, where you can select the bank account you want to review transaction for.
• For MYOB AccountRight businesses: When you click Unallocated, AccountRight will start (requires AccountRight Launcher). and you'll need to sign in to the company file with your user ID and password. To allocate the bank feed transactions, go to the Banking command centre and click Bank Feeds.

To view detailed information for a client file in the list, click on the entry in the list row.

For each business you can see at a glance which months have unallocated transactions or bank accounts that need reconciling.

Here's what the colours indicate:

Colour	Meaning
	Some transactions need to be allocated.
	All transactions have been allocated, but one or more bank accounts aren't reconciled.
	All transactions have been allocated, and all accounts have been reconciled.
	No transactions are available for the month.

Click in the status area to start allocating transactions:

• For MYOB Essentials businesses: When you click the transaction indicators, the Bank transactions page in MYOB Essentials will appear, and it will list all transactions for the selected 12 months, regardless of the last filter applied in the Bank transactions page. Learn how to allocate transactions in MYOB Essentials.
• For businesses using the new MYOB Essentials: When you click the transaction indicators, the Bank transactions page appears, where you can select the bank account you want to review transaction for. Learn how to allocate transactions in the new MYOB Essentials.
• For MYOB AccountRight businesses: When you click the transaction indicators, AccountRight will start (requires AccountRight Launcher). You'll need to sign in to the company file with your user ID and password. To code the bank feed transactions, go to the Banking command centre and click Bank Feeds. Learn how to work with bank feeds in MYOB AccountRight.

Allocation rules take the effort out of allocating each and every bank transaction. Now you can see what percentage of your clients’ transactions over the past two months were automatically allocated for you.

Click the percentage to create allocation rules:

• For MYOB Essentials businesses: When you click the percentage, you can create allocation rules in MYOB Essentials right away. Aim high — the more you automate, the less time you'll spend on low-value data-entry work and following up unallocated transactions.
• For MYOB AccountRight businesses: When you click the percentage, AccountRight will start (requires AccountRight Launcher). You'll need to sign in to the company file with your user ID and password. To create rules in AccountRight, go to the Banking command centre, click Bank Feeds, and then click Manage Rules. 

If a client doesn't have a bank feed, you can apply for one by clicking the Set up bank feeds link.

If transactions have been imported in a file (eg using a QIF file), you'll see the icon below the number of unallocated transactions — click it to set up a bank feed.

Learn about setting up bank feeds in MYOB Essentials, the new MYOB Essentials, and MYOB AccountRight .

When a client needs to work without an internet connection, they'll check out their AccountRight file to a PC or device. That means the online copy of their file will become read-only.

You'll see a Checked out label next to the client's business name, to let you know the client is working offline.

When an AccountRight file is checked out, you can still launch it but you can't make changes to it.

The transaction status indicators won't reflect any changes the client has made while working offline, or any bank feed updates that have occurred until the file is checked in again.

You can assign tasks to clients straight from the Transaction processing page. For example, you might have a transaction query, or a checklist you want them to review. Simply select them in the list and then click Create task. And if you want to assign the exact same task to multiple clients, you can do that too. Just select them all and click Create task.

Note that the task will inherit the default “send as” and “notify” settings that are set up in each client’s portal.

For MYOB Essentials businesses, and AccountRight files (version 2018.1 and later), you can now see which months in your client files are locked.

This makes it easier to check that the periods you've reviewed and completed in your client files have been locked for editing. Locking a period you've reported to the ATO or IR is a great safeguard to ensuring the records are not changed accidentally. Learn about locked periods: AccountRight | Essentials | New Essentials
