Unable to see WESS Configuration in Preferences / Configuration menu

The Exchange sync is accessible from two areas within Workbooks. As a standard User, you should be able to access your instance of the WESS UI by completing the following steps:

If using Green Theme: Click on the cirlce with your initials at the end of the task bar > Preferences > Integrations > Exchange Sync:

If using Clean Theme: Start > Preferences > Integrations > Exchange Sync:

Or as a System Admin, you can additionally find the Exchange Sync UI by going to Start > Configuration > Email Integrations > Exchange Sync > Configuration:

If you are unable to see these options or unable to access them, it is likely that either your WESS licence has expired, or the module is not active at Database or User level.

A System Administrator for your Workbooks database will need to check the following:

Check that the ‘Exchange Sync’ Module is enabled

1. Navigate to Start > Configuration > Account Settings > Licences & Modules

2. Select the Modules tab > Find the ‘Exchange Sync’ module and make sure it is ticked/true.

3. Save & Close

4. Log out and back into Workbooks

Check the User has a valid license for Exchange Sync

1.  Navigate to Start > Configuration > Account Settings  > Licences & Modules

2. Select the Licences tab, and ensure that ‘Exchange Sync’ is listed.

3. If it is not listed or shows as expired, your Workbooks Account no longer has an Active WESS Licence. To purchase new WESS licences, please contact the Workbooks Sales team by calling 0118 3030 100 or emailing sales@workbooks.com

4. If it is listed, navigate to Start > Configuration > Users & Security > Users

5. Open the User Record for the affected User and allocate an Exchange Sync Licence (Located at the bottom of the User profile)

7. Save & Close

8. Ask the User to log out of Workbooks and back in, for the changes to take effect.
