More information about setting up MYOB OnTheGo
If you have multiple databases, MYOB OnTheGo must be activated for each database.
In order to access MYOB OnTheGo you must:
Log into each MYOB AE/AO database that you want to access using MYOB OnTheGo and perform the workflow above.
Specify the my.MYOB administrator details for your practice so that you have administrator access to MYOB’s online services.
Every employee that will be using MYOB OnTheGo will require an unique my.MYOB login that is entered as part of their employee details in MYOB AE/AO.
Access to your onsite MYOB AE/AO server is required for MYOB OnTheGo. The MYOB AE/AO server must be running so that you can access information from your database(s).
You must have an internet connection to access MYOB Invoices from your browser enabled device, and an internet connection is also required on your MYOB AE/AO server.
MYOB OnTheGo is automatically installed with your MYOB AE/AO installation. No extra steps are required.
You will only need to activate MYOB OnTheGo from MYOB AE/AO the very first time you use it.
Task permissions
Team members within your practice with superuser or system administrator privileges will automatically have access to the security task permissions for activating MYOB OnTheGo.
To allow other employees to activate MYOB OnTheGo, they must have the appropriate task permissions enabled. You can either include them as a superuser or system administrator, or enable the #Maintenance # Set Up Online Data task permission for the selected employee.
- Select Maintenance > Security > Task Permissions on the main menu or Maintenance > Maintenance Map > Security > Task Permissions. The Maintenance — Task Permissions page opens.
- Select Central from the Product drop-down.
- Select the Group (security group) from the drop-down that you want to set up the task permissions for. The Group Descriptions assigned to the Group are listed in the panel.
- Click
beside the Maintenance Group Description to list all the available task permissions. The list expands and displays a checkbox in the Allow column. - Select the checkbox in the Allow column for #Maintenance #Set Up Online Data to give permission to allow the selected Group activate MYOB OnTheGo. Deselect the checkbox in the Allow column for #Maintenance #Set Up Online Data to not allow the selected Group to activate MYOB OnTheGo. This is how you control your employees’ access to the MYOB OnTheGo. By default, this task permission is granted to members of the Super User security group.
