Settings
When the user selects the settings action, the following options are available for adjusting the behaviour of the application:
- Jobs - Each of these preferences apply to how jobs are created and handled.
- Reimbursement Rate - This preference identifies the dollars per mile value that should be used for calculations of cost for vehicle use. This value is used to default the mileage rate when creating a Job. Existing mileage entries will NOT have their rates adjusted because of a change in this preference. Note: this setting is only available when the Mileage Tracker feature is enabled.
- Duplicate Job Names – This preference determines whether or not the application will allow more than one Job to be created with the same name as another job.
- Remember Time – When selected, this option instructs the application to default the next time that is to be entered to the last time that was entered. The application only remembers the previous time for a configurable amount of time that is defined by the Remember Time Length preference.
- Remember Time Length – When the Remember Time option is selected, this value determines how long the previous time is used as a default time for future entries.
- Display - Each of these preferences affect the display of data within the application.
- Measurement System – From here, the default measurement system will be set. Valid values are U.S. and Metric.
- Remember Payment – This option will instruct the application to remember the last payment method used to pay for an expense, and automatically set that payment method as the payment method on future expenses. Once the payment method is changed, the new payment method will then be used for future expenses, and so on. Note: this setting is only available when the Expense Tracker feature is enabled.
- Receipt Image Quality - This option will control the compression of the recepit images taken. An image with lower quality may appear grainier, but will take consume less space when saved on the device. Note: this setting is only available when the Expense Tracker feature is enabled.
- Company Information – This option can be used to specify Company Information such as name, address, and phone number. When specified, the information is added to the header of all reports. If left blank, no additional data is added to the reports.
- Automation – Each of these preferences turn on/off automated features within the application.
- Auto Stop Time – If selected, the application will automatically stop any running time entries within a job when a new time entry is started. Note: this setting is only available when the Time Tracker feature is enabled.
- Allow Future Times – If selected, time entries are allowed to be in the future.
- Auto Create Time Entry – When selected and a time entry is restarted, a new time entry will automatically be created rather than restarting the existing time entry. Note: this setting is only available when the Time Tracker feature is enabled.
- Auto Paid – When selected, the application will automatically change the state of a job to Paid when the total of all payments within the job is equal to or exceeds the total of the job.
- Auto Overdue – When selected, the application will automatically change the state of a job to Overdue if the current date is later than the due date for the job, and the total of all payments within the job less than the total of the job.
- Prompt For Billed – When selected, the application will prompt the user to see if they would like the job status to change to Billed, when a report is generated and sent via email. When prompted, the user has the option to either accept the job status change or to keep the job status as is.
- Hidden Dialogs – Each of these preferences are used to control whether or not certain dialogs are shown within the application.
- Hide Duplicate Job Names – If selected, the dialog that is used to ask the user whether or not to allow duplicate job names, will not be shown. Instead, the decision represented by the Duplicate Job Names preference will be used automatically.
- Hide Auto Stop Time – If selected, the dialog that is used to ask the user whether or not other running time entries should be stopped, will not be shown. Instead, the decision represented by the Auto Stop Time preference will be used automatically. Note: this setting is only available when the Time Tracker feature is enabled.
- Hide Allow Future Time – If selected, the dialog that is used to ask the user whether or not they want to allow time entries in the future, will not be shown. Instead, the decision represented by the Allow Future Time preference will be used automatically.
- Hide Auto Create Time – If selected, the dialog that is used to ask the user whether or not a new time entry should be automatically created when restarting a time entry, will not be shown. Instead, the decision represented by the Auto Create Time preference will be used automatically. Note: this setting is only available when the Time Tracker feature is enabled.
