3.6. System Setup Options

There are options under the System Setup section of the software that you should know about.  This section will explain the options and hopefully answer any questions you may have.

To get to the System Setup section, run the software.  Click on the Setup menu, then System Options.

This is the main screen for the System Settings.

Here is a list of the fields and information about them.

Use the System Screen Resizer Option - This option if checked will tell the system to use the screen resizer option.  This will expand the fields and adjust the screen if you make the screens bigger or smaller.  Otherwise the fields will stay the size they are when first shown.

Prompt for Backup on Exit - This option if checked, will prompt you if you want to perform a backup when you exit the application.  If unchecked, of course it will not prompt you.

Automatically Backup on Exit - Check this if you want the system to automatically run a backup of the database when you exit the application.  This is used in conjunction with the Use Backup Feature on Exit.  If this is checked along with Use Backup Feature on Exit, then upon exiting the application it will automatically backup the database without asking you to do so.  The backups will be listed as a .zip file with today's date as part of the backup name.

Here are some of the options you are presented with on this screen.

There are buttons that allow you to perform these options.

Close - This button when pressed, will Close this screen and return you to the Main screen.

Menu Options - The menu that is displayed on this screen allows you to select different options to process.  Below is a list of all the options available along with their meanings/functions.

Edit:

Mark all History Transactions/Checks as Cashed/Reconciled - Clicking on this option will go into the History File and mark all the transactions as Cashed/Reconciled so that they do not show up on the Reconciliation screen. This should only be run once if you keep up with Reconciliation.
