 ====== Standalone LAN ======
-This feature allows sales clerks to make sales and modify limited information on workstations in Standalone LAN mode, when the main dataset is not available.  It can be used by outside sales people with laptop computers to enter orders on the go by using the Standalone LAN manager application to synchronize the company's main dataset with a partial Standalone LAN dataset on the workstation before they leave and after they return. The Standalone LAN mode is an extra module that you can purchase. Your license must include Standalone LAN mode support before you can use this feature. Once licensed, you download a set of files that includes the Standalone LAN manager application and are then allowed to enable the feature in the Setup Wizard and view related reports.
-**__Limitations__**
-The Standalone LAN operation is limited to updating tasks, creating invoices, updating customer information and taking payments with R-type invoices.
-Standalone LAN mode is intended to allow sales clerks to continue making sales when the main dataset is not available and is limited to basically creating invoices and taking payments with R-type invoices.
-Tasks now replicate between main and standalone datasets.
-Note that existing standalone datasets (version 5.40.12.xx and earlier ) must be recreated in order to take advantage of this feature.
-Task-related configuration settings, like most of System Five's configuration settings, currently do not replicate. This means that standalone datasets must be recreated if you add a new activity type (for example).
-Advanced features of the appointment system (recurring tasks specifically) do not replicate.
-  - Transfers are currently not supported.
-  - Job costing is currently not supported.
-  - The rentals module is currently not supported.\\
-**Note**: that existing standalone datasets version 5.40.12.xx and earlier must be recreated in order to take advantage of the ability to update tasks.
-You can get a simple summary of each workstation's Standalone LAN mode activities over time by viewing the Standalone LAN Activity report.
