How to Delete MLS Codes

Accountants Enterprise only

You can delete an entire MLS table or specific lines from a table. Deleting the entire MLS table allows you to start with a clean slate so that the security lines required can be added either line by line, importing from the application template or left blank, resulting in no security being defined.

Deleting specific lines in the table allows them to be either entered again manually or removed completely resulting in no security defined for that option.

    1. Click Manage > Templates.


      The
Template Maintenance
      window opens.
    1. Highlight the application template required and click Properties.

  2. Highlight the lines to delete or highlight the whole table as required and click Delete.

Security Controls

Accountants Enterprise only

The system contains a number of extended features that may be optionally implemented within your practice by a MYOB consultant.

Security Controls can be used to restrict access to ledgers or folders to either protect sensitive data or enforce authorised access.

The system allows you to control access to ledgers via:

  • Restricting the user view.


If a user cannot see a folder, then access is effectively removed.
  • Folder and item passwords.


Applying a password restricts access to users who know the password.
