We will familiarise ourselves with the applications & features of ABT.            

We will also learn how to install ABT on an Aakash tablet.

Slide 3 To record this tutorial, I am using,

ABT version 1.0. Aakash Tablet with Android version 4.2 i.e Jelly Bean.

Slide 4 ABT can be used on any rooted tablet of your choice.

To install ABT on a rooted tablet, you will require a working Internet connection &

400MB of free space on internal/external SD-card.

Slide 5 For more information visit the following links,

https://github.com/androportal/ABT

Slide 6 To learn ABT, you must be familiar with the concepts of book keeping.
Slide 7

What is ABT?

ABT is an accounting tool, which runs on Android OS.

It is intended for accountants and accounts-students.

It is a Free and Open Source Software, licensed under GNU - GPL version 3.

Slide 8 ABT can be used by an NGO as well as a Profit making organization.
Slide 9 Now, let us look at some of the features of ABT.
First, let see how to maintain Organizations.
Video playing So, on the first page, we can see 2 buttons at the top,

Create new organization and

Select existing organization

Now, on the next page, we have to fill organization details.

Fill the organization details if required or tap on Skip button.

Now, lets see a small clip about-

User authentication and its role in an organization

Video playing Now, we will select role as admin

And login with our username and password.

Next, lets have a look at how to maintain books of accounts.

An organization can have any number of accounts.

Every account falls under a Group and optionally a Sub-Group.

A prompt box appears which asks whether we want to:
