What's new in Sage 300 2020 (release on Oct 2019)
Sage 300cloud web screens improvements
This release includes the option to install Sage 300cloud web screens: modernized versions of Sage 300 screens that you can use in a web browser.
Web screens run in parallel with the classic Sage 300 desktop screens, so there's no need to choose between desktop or web. Everyone in your organization can use the interface that best suits their needs, while working seamlessly with a single shared set of company data.
Here's a quick overview of what's new in Sage 300cloud web screens:
-
New Payroll Employee Timecards web screen. The Payroll Employee Timecards screen is now available in web screens, allowing you to enter and manage employee timecards.
-
Run Sage 300cloud in Multiple Browser Tabs. You can now run Sage 300cloud in multiple browser tabs or windows at the same time.
-
Improved support for French and Spanish languages. French and Spanish characters can now be entered in all fields in web screens. (Previously, some fields did not support this.)
If you use Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud, we recommend that you configure Sage 300cloud web screens to run in a secured environment using digital certificates. If you do not, warnings will appear in your browser each time you start Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud. For more information, see Knowledgebase article 84797.
Web screens are available in English, French, Spanish, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Help and documentation for web screens is available in English and French.
