New Jim2 Session

This will launch another session of the same database using your logon credentials.

Note: In the session currently being worked on, if a form is closed, it will disappear in the Nav Tree of both sessions.

Logged Users

View all currently logged on users, as well as any currently locked objects in Add/Edit mode, and by whom.

Note: Jim2 will lock the GL while other users are dealing with transactions. Any GL changes should be conducted when no-one else is logged in (out of hours), and you have no objects in edit mode.

Calculator

Opens the calculator. If the calculator is open when the cursor is in a numeric data field (eg. the purchase order price field), it allows the result of the calculation to be entered into that field by clicking Accept.
