| You can work online or offline – it's your choice. Upgrading online guarantees you get the most value from your subscription—many of AccountRight's time-saving features only work if your file's online. Also, MYOB does the work to upgrade the file and put it online – you just need to send us the file and we'll let you know when it's ready to use. If you upgradeonline, you still get to choose how you want to work day to day: - work online, so you can collaborate with others, such as your colleagues or accountant—all while maintaining control over who sees what information and when. You're also no longer tied to the office—you can work from home, at a café, or on the train.
- work offline (check out your file). You might do this if won't have access to the internet for a while. Or, you might simply prefer to work offline and go back online only when you want your accountant to access your file. AccountRight gives you that flexibility.
Switching between working online and offline is pretty easy:
But if you really can't or don't want to work online at all, you can upgrade your file without putting it online. If you: - don't want online access
- don't have an internet connection, or it's very slow
- don't have a subscription for an online file
- or if you operate on a network
you can upgrade the file without putting it online — but this does mean you won't have access to key features. You can still put your company file online at a later date if you change your mind. |
