MISys SBM Menus Simplified

With all the new features introduced in MISys SBM 3.0, and even more in MISys SBM 4.0, the program's menu structure was looking a little bloated. Users who had an early look at version 4.0 asked if there wasn't a way to simplify the menus so that finding the function you wanted wouldn't be such a daunting task.

Our development team came up with a scheme to show or hide certain menu elements based on the security group to which any user belongs. Since you can create up to 4 billion security groups, it is likely that each user in your company can have his or her own simplified menu - custom configured to match the tasks they perform.

You can read all about this new feature in the MISys SBM User Guide. Just navigate to the Administration panel and choose Security Groups. Edit or create a new Security Group and click on the Menu tab. Press the F1 key to learn about configuring the MISys SBM menu for members of this Group.

Dateline Woodstock
Our town is fairly abuzz with early tourists headed north in busses and cars intent on experiencing Autumn in Vermont. Of course it will be another 3-4 weeks before the midlands (where we live) reach peak color. But the harvest festivals are in full swing with farm gardens pouring forth their bounty and the real possibility of a killing frost ever on the minds of home gardeners. Every Wednesday afternoon on the Woodstock Town Green through mid-October you can purchase all manner of fresh veggies including carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, beets, green beans, sweet corn, and squash. If you're anxious to see the largest Vermont-grown pumpkin or the tallest ox, then head on up to the Tunbridge Fair this weekend, just a few miles north of MISys World Headquarters. Like many country fair across the nation, the Tunbridge Fair features a huge 4H exhibit, tractor pulls, a demolition derby, a Tilt-a-Whirl and other carnival amusements. Tunbrdge was created on September 3, 1761 by way of a royal charter which King George III of England issued to Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire. The name Tunbridge was chosen by Wentworth and most likely in honor of (or to gain favor with), the English noble William Henry Nassau de Zuylestein (1717-1781), fourth Earl of Rochford, Viscount Tunbridge, Baron Enfield and Colchester. De Zuylstein's secondary title is derived from the old "royal borough" of Tunbridge Wells (sometimes Royal Tunbridge Wells) in England. Just before dawn on October 16, 1780 the town line of Tunbridge and Royalton was witness to the last major raid of the Revolutionary War in New England, after which the Yankees retired to the Tunbridge fairgrounds for the now famous and ever-popular pig races.

Customizable Welcome Screen

To be truthful, it isn't a new feature in MISys SBM but, as revealed in a recent survey, one that few users seem to know about: the ability to customize the MISys SBM welcome screen with your company name, pictures of the founding fathers, etc., etc.

When you install MISys SBM version 4.0, click the "Customize" link just below the title Sample Company, Inc. If you have headphones or speakers attached to your computer, you're set to watch a streaming video explaining two different methods for customizing the screen.

We're experimenting with using more video as a means to educate our users. If you have an opinion or suggestion you'd care to share, please email customerservice@misysinc.com. Thank you!
