How to use XLGL in Sage 50 Hosted

-Introduction

This tutorial explains how to start using Logicim XLGL when Sage 50 US runs in the Sage 50 Hosted environment.

Before you begin

Excel and Logicim XLGL must be available inside the same hosted workspace as Sage 50 US. If the workspace does not show Excel and Register Logicim AddOn, contact Sage Support and ask them to set up Excel and Logicim XLGL in the hosted environment. XLGL cannot access the hosted company data until this setup is available.

Open Excel in the hosted workspace

Step 1: Open Windows App and sign in to your Sage 50 Hosted workspace.

Step 2: In Apps, confirm that Excel and Register Logicim AddOn appear with Sage 50 US.

Step 3: Open Excel from this workspace. The Windows App badge on the Excel icon confirms that Excel is running in the hosted environment.

Start the Sage 50 US connection

Step 4: In Excel, select the Logicim XLGL tab and click Connect.

Step 5: If the Connect panel shows a default Canadian company connection, select the X beside that connection and confirm Yes to remove it.

Step 6: Click New Connection, then select Sage 50 US.

Step 7: Click Browse and continue with the company connection. For the complete company-folder and Sage 50 US access steps, follow Connecting to a Sage 50 US edition company with Logicim XLGL.

Verify the setup

The hosted setup is ready when Excel opens from the Sage 50 Hosted workspace, the Logicim XLGL tab is available, and the Connect panel lets you select Sage 50 US and browse for the company.

If Excel or Register Logicim AddOn is missing, or XLGL cannot access the hosted company data, contact Sage Support to complete the hosted-environment setup.
