Install an update

How to install an update

We will give advance warning of when an update will be applied to your Sage 200 software, which will be displayed in the messages when you start the Sage 200 Standard desktop application.

Your Sage 200 software will not be available during our scheduled update period, but we will usually schedule a quiet time out of office hours.

During our scheduled update period, we will update the Sage Provisioning Portal with a new version of the Sage 200 Standard application.

After we have applied the update, you can install the new version:

  1. The next time you start the Sage 200 Standard desktop app, you will be prompted to download and install the update.

  2. Select Install.

  3. After the update has installed, log in using your normal user name and password.

Note: The Web Portal application is updated automatically, so you can use it straight away.

Assign feature access to a user

When you update to a new version of Sage 200, some new features may have been added, but they will not immediately be available from the menu. You must choose which users can access the new feature by assigning feature access to the users.

Open: Settings > Organisational and Financial > User Access.

As an administrator, you can choose which features each user can access. If a user does not have access to a feature, they will not be able to see or use that feature in Sage 200.

Note: If you change feature access for a user, they will have to log out and back in again to see the changes.

  1. Select a user in the Users list.

    The Feature access for... tab displays all features that are available. The user will have access to features that are ticked.

  2. Select the features that the user will be able to access.
  3. Click Save.
