Operating system (Windows, Mac OS X)

UPDATING YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM

Updating your operating system is very important. Most computer attacks occur on computers that don't have the most recent security updates.

If you are running Microsoft Windows, activate the automatic updates.

If you are running Apple Macintosh, go to the software updates page on Apple's site.
In addition to updating your operating system, it is also important to ensure that your computer's software is updated regularly.

SUPPORTED BROWSERS

Do you use Google Chrome to access internal or external websites?

Keeping our services secure requires constant improvement to handle present and future threats. As of November 2014, new versions of the Google Chrome browser will progressively stop supporting certain SSL certificates. In this vein, we will be updating our web infrastructure. During this time, Google Chrome users will notice changes in the way their browser's address bar is displayed.

Temporary display changes will not affect the security of transactions and will disappear once the transition period is over. You can therefore continue to make secure transactions.

To use AccèsD, your browser must have 128-bit encryption protocol.
Note that your browser must be configured to accept cookies.

Templates available for download

We have designed templates (models) into which you can insert your first downloaded file. This ensures that you'll have a good definition of the data in the software program of your choice. This way, you won't have to worry about correctly defining the column widths in your spreadsheet or the data type in your database.

Templates are available in the following formats:

You may download the template of your choice by clicking on the name of the software that you use from the previous list.

If the software you use does not accept the above templates, please let us know the name of your software so we may meet your needs.

Using templates

First, you'll need to download the template that corresponds to the software you use. Then, download your transaction summary in CSV format.

We suggest that you always keep a previous version of your working document. To do so, save your file under another name before starting to import any data. That way, if you make a mistake, you won't lose all the information.
