Unregistered Tabular Workbooks

When a copy of a Tabular return workbook is made or the return workbook is moved to another location, it is considered as “unregistered Tabular workbook”. The dialog from the screenshot below shows every time you open it:

These can still be used but note the main database is not aware of this workbook, so we apply the following limitations to this workbook as the will not work properly:

• audit tracking will not be saved
• data upgrades will not be applied
• return is not available for roll forward and comparison
• return backups will not be created
• some functionality is disabled – Edit Return, Manage custom sheets, Team, Return Recovery

If you have this message showing for you consider this two variants:
1. If the return workbook you are opening is a copy of the original one, but you want to keep it and test some stuff using it – then continue using it with the following restrictions noted above, but do not use it for the filing of your official data.
2. If this is the original return workbook that was created by Return setup, but you have moved it to a new location – register this new path, so the new proper path to the workbook is saved to the Database.
Check DB settings section to guide you how to do that.
