Change Background - Personalise Your Screen With Custom Backgrounds

The Change Background function allows the SapphireOne user to override the default screen colour. Reasons for customising the background colour include increasing contrast, reducing glare, increase legibility, personalisation, company identification and account identification.

Each company set up within SapphireOne can have a unique colour or image. One example of this application would be to utilise the unique company logo to avoid confusion and for the user community to make it extremely clear which company they are logged in to across multiple companies data file.

Change Background Procedure

  • This feature may be accessed within any mode from File > Change Background.
  • When a SapphireOne user selects the Change Background function, a pop up will be displayed.
  • Selecting the Background area will result in a list of pre-defined colour options to choose from.
  • This facility allows the SapphireOne user to change from using the default window/screen colour to another of the predefined options provided.
  • Alternately the user may choose an image file to sample by selecting the Open from file option provided. An example of this is above.

Dictation and Speech to Text Overview

SapphireOne’s Dictation (MacOS) and Speech to Text (Windows) functionalities revolutionise data entry. These features are available for any data entry field and all inquiry screens within SapphireOne. For instance, when a user makes a call via the SapphireOne Softphone, SapphireOne automatically timestamps the contact and phone number. Post-call, users can dictate notes directly into the CRM contact memo field in relation to the stamp.

This functionality is applicable across all Data Entry screens. As examples, when entering a Vendor Invoice (VI), users can dictate memos directly. Similarly, additional lines can be added to the General Ledger account, with each line having a unique memo field. After an employee interview, users can efficiently dictate notes.

Speech to Text and Dictation are powerful tools that SapphireOne and its clients use daily, significantly saving time.
