The administrator can restrict access to reports and forms for particular users by a mechanism known as signing. This is controlled by the Signing and Using Unsigned Forms and Reports administration privilege…” — from the MoneyWorks User Guide, page G-222

The customized forms and reports, which you have created, are stored in the “Custom Plug-ins” folder. To quickly access the “Custom Plug-ins” folder, you may click on the “Custom Plug-ins” folder link at the “Housekeeping” navigator. It will bring you to the “MoneyWorks Custom Plug-Ins” folder, which was created on your computer when you first activated. Underneath the “MoneyWorks Custom Plus-Ins” folder are multiple subfolders such as:

  • Forms

  • Import Maps

  • Navigator

  • Pictures for Company

  • Reports

  • Scripts
