Cost Centres; now define whether Test or Production mode is used

Most third party interfaces allow both a Test and Production mode. This allows testing of a service without affecting live data. For example, producing a Credit Report should not affect a real Person's Credit Bureau data.

Previously, to define whether Test or Production Mode is used you set an option under Tools, User Preferences:

  • Clients, Credit Bureau
  • Securities, Security Enquiry
  • Securities, PPSR

This is now defined under Global Settings, Cost Centres. You can either check:

  • "Force Test Mode for all Users and Services".
    • With this checked all third party service calls are made in Test mode.
    • This may mean some services fail because they do not support a Test mode.
    • A warning message will be displayed on opening the database.
    • Window Title will include "TEST MODE ENFORCED" and background colour is forced to bright green.
  • or "Allow Production Mode based upon User Preferences".
    • Allows each User to define whether they are using Test or Production mode.
    • Then, under User Preferences, Cost Centres, check either "Test Mode" or "Production Mode".

Note, User Preferences, Cost Centres now is also where "Warn User prior to incurring a fee?" is located.
