Enhanced Usability
Modernized look and feel
As soon as you open DacEasy 2011, you’ll notice its updated, more modern look. As you navigate through the Business Center and other modules, you can appreciate the change in appearance without any effect on your business processes. Our goal was to update the interface without disrupting your use of the product. The DacEasy module toolbars have received a much-needed facelift, providing you with more intuitive access to commonly used commands. Program icons have been given an updated look to represent the integrated relationship among the modules. In addition, the DacEasy interface supports the appearance conventions of the most current Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.
Easier to see and understand data fields
Using DacEasy 2011 is easier and more intuitive than ever before, thanks to a number of usability enhancements. Lookup buttons are now located right next to applicable fields, making it much clearer when users can access Lookup dialog boxes and select from validation data. DacEasy 2011 also introduces grid-view watermarks, so it’s easier to identify what data should be entered in a field, even if it’s several lines below the grid header. Scroll bars have also been added to various grid views, so you can easily see all items in a grid box without tabbing.
More room to write
If you previously felt limited by the 30-character limit in DacEasy descriptions on Quotes, Orders, Invoices, and Sales Receipts, you’ll appreciate the expanded description fields available in DacEasy 2011. You can now enter up to 1,024 characters in the description fields in the Accounting, Order Entry, and Point of Sale modules: Fields will automatically expand to accommodate the text.
Confidence your payment processing system is in compliance
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) now require that merchants must be certified in order to process, store, and transmit credit card data. Part of this certification is the use of Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS)-compliant software when performing integrated credit card processing. DacEasy 2011 gives you peace of mind by providing Sage Exchange to process credit card and debit card transactions. Sage Exchange not only provides you with a compliant solution, but also the flexibility to use multiple merchant account providers to process your credit card transactions. Compliance and choice, a winning combination.

From this location, you can drill into your data for more information.
Easily install DacEasy on Windows Vista®, Windows 7, and in 64-bit environments
Many DacEasy customers have started to purchase new hardware that includes 32-bit processors with Windows Vista, and more commonly 64-bit processors and Windows 7. For DacEasy 2011, we have updated the installer and tested the software to ensure you can take advantage of these newer operating systems.
Improved Reporting
Format reports your way in less time
Some customers told us they spent additional time reformatting Bank Reconciliation reports using Microsoft Excel®. You’ll appreciate the new detail bank reconciliation report available in DacEasy 2011. During the reconciliation process, you can choose to print the original summary bank reconciliation report, or the new detail bank reconciliation report. What’s more, you can choose to print this report at any time and for any date range in DacEasy 2011, so it effectively allows you to reproduce bank reconciliation reports at any time.
