Field Explanation
Local Working Folders
Work This is the default folder where Ready Pay will save files generated by payroll.
You may specify any location which is convenient for you, and ensure that you have full read/write access. Files created in this location include:
  • EFT files
  • Centrelink earnings verification and ongoing earnings reports.
Documents This folder contains printable training documents which can be used to familiarise yourself with the payroll process in Ready Pay.
Spooling

The spooling folder is used to temporarily store certain files, for example an attachment to an email.
Server Working Folders
Active Alias

This is the directory where the current active database is stored. This information is set at the time of registering the database. If you wish to edit it, you must edit the database connection.
Server Name This is the name of the server where the program is installed.
If it is installed on your PC, this will be 'Local', otherwise it will show the name of the server.
This information is set at the time of registering the database.
If you wish to edit it, you must edit the database connection.
UNC Path This is the actual location of the current database.
If your database is stored on the file server then this is the logical path on the server, i.e. the server drive where the database is stored and not the local machine drive.
This information is set at the time of registering the database.
If you wish to edit it, you must edit the database connection (via the Ready Pay icon).
The UNC path is also the location of the last copy database which is an extra protection in case of failure of both the primary database and backup files.
Contact the support team for more information.
  1. Once you have entered all the required information, click Apply.

NOTE:The above details relate to clients that have Ready Pay installed locally on your own servers. If your Ready Pay is hosted on Ready Pay's cloud environment the locations are all set by Ready Pay and are the default cloud locations.
