MessageSlips System Options

Your system administrator can follow these steps to manage MessageSlips for all users on the MessageSlips network.

  1. Right-click the MessageSlips icon and click Setup > System Options. The System Options for Abacus MessageSlips window appears. If the System Options window is password protected, the Supervisor Password window appears when you try to open the System Options window. Enter the supervisor password and click Done to open the System Options window. (See the next step for information about setting the supervisor password.)

  2. For Supervisor Password, you can enter a system administrator password that restricts access to the System Options window. You should set a password, otherwise, all users will have access to the MessageSlips System Options window.
