Setup Instructions
Follow the guidelines listed below and on the following page to set up the student and trainer’s workstation.
• Workstations should run Peachtree Complete Accounting, QuickBooks, Sage BusinessWorks, DacEasy,
Data Migrator, and Sage MAS 90 on their local drives
• Download the tip package and any additional Data Migrator tips from Sage Software Online. Follow the
download instructions provided with the tip.
• When installing Peachtree, use the default folder; otherwise, activities do not point them to the correct
place.
• When installing Data Migrator, also copy the Online documentation for the Data Migrator Manual and
Acrobat Reader.
• The Data Migrator case study only includes the \DGS folder. This company is used in the lab and you
should download it to the default folder.
• Sage MAS 90 should have security enabled
• Create a Supervisor role that has access to all tasks, security events, and module options
• Define the RMD user with a name of Robin and a user code of RMD. Assign the Supervisor role created
for all companies to this user.
• Passwords are not required
• All workstations should have access to a laser printer
• Define the printer as the default printer on each workstation

Printing in Class
• Many in-class activities include steps to print reports. The trainer should indicate what output method
the students should use for these activities.
• By setting up a user logon with supervisory rights, student can preview and update the registers and
Daily Transaction Register.
• If the students are printing to an actual printer during class, review the steps for changing the company
name in Company Maintenance to their name at the beginning of the class. This aids in the distribution of
printouts.
