Introduction

Settings allow you to tailor FirstOffice's operation to your requirements. Many settings take the form of preferences: examples include Account Usage S/L and Account Usage P/L, which you can use to inform FirstOffice which Account is to be used in a particular situation (e.g. the Debtor and Creditor Accounts). Other settings require a number of records to be entered: this information tends to be used in 'look-up' tables (i.e. 'Paste Special' windows) from the main registers.

To edit or add to a setting, elect 'Settings' from the File menu or click the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-S (Windows) or ⌘-S (Macintosh).

The 'Settings' list window opens, showing the various settings or preferences available in FirstOffice:

Double-click any of the items in the list to view, change or add to any of the settings.
