USER PREFERENCES

Recent enhancements have been added to the MAS90 user preferences screen to allow for further customization of your MAS 90 system.   These preferences can be found under the File/Preferences menu.   

One question that has come up several times that is related to these changes involves how the date appears in MAS 90.  When running a report, you may notice an ending date of 12/31/99.  This date refers to 2999, not 1999.  To see the entire year format, go to File/Preferences, and under Tab 1, Windows Prefs., change Year Display Format from Year Only to Century and Year.

Another addition is the ability for the return city names to be entered in all caps when MAS 90 automatically enters the city name after the user enters the zip code in Customer Maintenance.  If you prefer the customers return city to be in caps after entering a valid zip code, check the Return City Names in All Caps on Tab 4, System Prefs.  

If you are on a network version of MAS 90, any changes made to the preferences screen are workstation specific.  In the top left corner of the screen, you will see the workstation ID for the workstation you are configuring.  To set preferences on a system-wide level, the workstation ID must be set to T0.

We suggest you review these screens periodically after updates to see any enhancements that have been added which may make data entry and using your MAS 90 system easier.

**Please note, some of the options in the Preferences screen may only be edited if you have supervisor rights in your MAS 90 system.
