Troubleshooting tips

Can users in the firm share clients or have multiple employees log in?

• QEF cannot transfer clients between users.
• As a workaround, if you want to share clients will need to create a login that can be used by everyone in the office that is separate from their software credentials.
• Be sure the login is an Account Employee in My Account and an Employee for Software access.
• This would require they start over. The prior data would be lost.
