You can define any User Name for the dedicated Reckon Insights user in your Company File.
In this example, we are naming the user as "ReckonInsights".
Important! Do not share this login with anyone or attempt to log in to Reckon Accounts Hosted with it, as this would block Reckon insights from accessing your file.

  2. Click on New to set up a new user to be used by Reckon Insights to connect to your Reckon Accounts Hosted File.
  3. Enter the details below:
    1. User Name: ReckonInsights
    2. Password: <A password of your choice>
    3. Roles: Full Access


Click OK to save the User and also make a note of the password you selected.


Step 3: Switch the Company File to Multi-user Mode

Click on the File menu and see the setting under Close Company:

  1. Switch to Multi-user Mode – select this option to switch the Company File to Multi-user Mode.
  2. Switch to Single-User Mode – you are already in the correct mode and can progress to Step 4


Step 4: Add the Hosted Company File as a Data Feed

  1. Log into the https://portal.reckon.com
  2. Select Reckon Insights then click on Manage – it will open the Insights User and Feed Management page in a new tab
