Business Insights Explorer  
Introduced in Version 7.0, Business insights Explorer (BIE) has become the tool of choice for 
customers to inquire and navigate through the wealth of relational information stored within Sage 
MAS 500. BIE’s ability to personalize and share information with others has become a common 
theme mentioned among the Sage MAS 500 user community. The introduction of Quick Previews 
in version 7.05 provided a simplified and high performing view of the information while leveraging 
the backend infrastructure and personalization capabilities of BIE.  
A set of new previews will be introduced in the 7.2 release including:   
•  New “Where Serial Number Used” previews including: Inventory Transactions, Shipment 
Lines, Customer Return Lines, Stock Receipt Lines, Vendor Return Lines, and Work 
Order Transactions. These new previews will allow customers to immediately identify 
where a given item serial number has been used within their business operations. 
 
•  New Active Memos previews for Vouchers, Invoices, Work Orders, Projects, Purchase 
Orders, and Sales Orders. These previews will be accessible from the aligned transaction 
BIE view.  
New Common End User License Agreement 
A new common End User License Agreement (EULA) has been structured for all Sage North 
American products including all ERP, CRM, HRMS and Fixed Assets solutions. This common 
EULA provides customers with consistent licensing guidance based on complete solution they 
choose to purchase from Sage. The new EULA is included with the 7.2 release and is accessible 
from the help system.  
Documentation 
The Sage MAS 500 version 7.2 documentation and embedded help system includes a wide variety 
of new technologies including HTML help and multi-media tutorials. These new technologies 
provide the training and searching capabilities that ultimately enable users to feel more empowered 
in how to best leverage the entire system on a daily basis.
