Field Descriptions
If you want the To Do List window to appear whenever you open your company file, select this option. The To Do List contains reminders and gives you quick access to the tasks that need your attention.
If you want to retain the sizes and locations of the windows you use in your company file, select this option. If you don’t select this option, the windows will resize to their default settings when you reopen the company file.
If you want to display currency symbols in the transaction windows, select this option. If you want to show or hide currency symbols on your reports or forms, select the relevant option in the Reports & Forms view of the Preferences window.
If you want to type and select accounts by their names instead of their numbers when recording transactions, select this option. For example, if you would prefer to select the rent account by typing “Rent” instead of “6-2639”, you would select this option.
If you want to type and select items by their names instead of their numbers when recording transactions, select this option. Note that if you select this option, the items will be sorted by name instead of by number in the Search lists.
If you allocate identification numbers to each of your cards, and want to type the IDs when recording transactions instead of the card names, select this option. Note that if you select this option, the cards will be sorted by ID instead of by name in the Search lists.
For example, if you type the first few characters of a customer’s name in the Customer field of an invoice, the Easy-Fill feature will automatically fill in the rest of the record name for you. If several records match the characters you are typing, it will fill with the first matching record.
If you usually type long descriptions and memos in transaction line items, select this option. When you select this option, the field you are typing in will expand to show you more of the description or memo.
