Training for administrators: configuring your account

This online training guides you through the various settings you will need to configure to get the best out of Kobas, depending on which pillars you are using.

Last updated 08 May 2024

Once you have access to your account, before you begin trading with Kobas, you will need to review your account configuration.

Kobas would also advise longstanding clients, to review these settings, to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the business.

Reviewing the account configuration must be undertaken by an Administrator on the account.

Check out our Glossary for terminology you may be unsure about.

You may also wish to view some other useful information:

When you visit the Knowledge Base homepage, you will also find information relating to recent updates and frequent support requests.

Your landing page

As an account "Administrator", when you log into Kobas Cloud, you will be taken to the Billing page automatically instead of the landing page, where an invoice is showing as overdue. 

You may also notice the red banner on your account from time to time, stating "Your Kobas Account cloud license will soon expire". This will only display to Administrators. If you wish to discuss billing or licensing further, please email accounts@kobas.co.uk.

Administrators must also each sign the "Terms and Conditions" on the billings page. This accepts all of our general usage terms, as well as your pricing schedule. All new Administrators will need to sign the T&C's before they can access their account. The account as a whole also needs at least one administrator to have accepted their T&C's before any user can use the account.

Top Tip: All users can amend the information on their landing page, read here.
