Sage 100 Paperless with Gmail and Less Secure Apps

November 17, 2020 by Wayne Schulz

We just ran across an instance where a customer using Sage 100 2020.x and paperless office for electronic delivery of statements was suddenly having their Google Workspace ( aka G-Suite or Gmail ) email account login and password rejected.

It’s important to note that this customer was NOT using two-factor authentication with Google. If they were to use two-factor this issue likely would have been resolved by using an app-specific password ( only available to those with two-factor enabled).

Just one month ago we thought we’d resolved this issue by enabling less secure applications within their Google email.

Google has begun tightening their security protocols for what they term less secure apps. Essentially these are apps which require you to enter in your Google credentials as opposed to using a more secure authentication which might grant access to only a portion of your Google account such as only email or only calendar access.

You can read more about Google’s less secure apps policy here.

It appears that while you can enable access for less secure apps, Google will periodically disable that access should the app not login for an undefined period of time.

This is apparently what was happening as our customer only printed statements every 30 days.

The resolution to the rejected login from within Sage 100 paperless office was to once again enable less secure apps from the Google account.

Google The Latest Sage Documents – Hot Tip

August 6, 2012 by Wayne Schulz

Here’s a quick power tip for Sage users who want a quick look at the latest documents posted on the Sage website.

If you’re looking for a faster way to uncover public documents listed in Google (this won’t work for documents hidden behind a “gated” Sage login ).

Using a special format for Google search you can view all the latest indexed pages from the North American Sage website – na.sage.com. You can quickly slice and dice this data so you only view updates from the last hour, 24 hours, past week, past month or a custom range.

This search can further be narrowed to search only for pages with PDF or other file types (helpful for finding new whitepapers).

Google Advanced Search

For even more powerful search capabilities — use Google Advanced Search (http://www.google.com/advanced_Search )

How To Use Google To Search Sage’s MAS90 & MAS200 Knowledgebase

October 22, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

Frustrated by search results that appear when you look for support articles in the Sage Software MAS90  knowledgebase?

Here’s a quick tip.

Use Google and a special parameter (site:infosource.sagesoftwareonline.com) when you do a Google search. This instructs Google to review all public posts that originate from the Sage knowledgebase and which contain your search string.

Use quotes in the initial search for direct matches:

“tax tables” site:infosource.sagesoftwareonline.com

 

What’s unique about this search is that you’ll often receive results from Google which also include program patches, tax table updates and other more difficult to locate technical information.

 

Remember that this type of Google search only returns results that are PUBLIC. If a login is required on the Sage site to view information then you will be unable to use Google to view the resulting data.
