Free Unlimited View Only Users

M1’s view only allows you to have users who can view, print and export data for free. You only pay for the users that actually transact in the system not for those who just review pertinent information.

Saving You Money

M1’s unlimited View Only users means you can now reduce the number of users you require and therefore reduce your cost of maintenance by taking full advantage of our free view only users.

View Only users are those who typically only need to view, print or export information in order to analyze the business performance.

A View Only user is ideally suited to the management personnel in the organization.

View only users do not count against the maximum number of users that can be logged in at one time so your view only users is unlimited.

Another feature that helps manage and reduce your user count is the auto logout option. This allows you to control the hours a user will have access to M1 and can also be used to set a period of inactivity by which to log them off the system automatically.
