Settings in the System module - Optional Features

The Optional Features setting contains some miscellaneous options controlling the behavior of various aspects of your Books by HansaWorld database.

The Optional Features setting is unusual in that it affects the entire database. So, if you have more than one Company, choosing an option in this setting in one Company will affect every other Company as well.

To open the Optional Features setting, ensure you are in the System module using the [Module] button in the Master Control panel and click the [Settings] button, also in the Master Control panel. The 'Settings' list opens: double-click 'Optional Features'. Click [Save] to save any changes and close, or the close box to close without saving changes.

No Test printout
Some documents have a watermark feature. This feature has two elements:
  1. When you print an unapproved record (one that has not been marked as OK), the text "Test Printout" will be printed diagonally across the page as a watermark. This is to avoid this print-out being confused with the final version, which you will print after approving the record and saving.

  2. When you print a record that you have already printed, the text "Copy" will be printed diagonally across the page as a watermark.
Use this option if you want to turn off the watermark feature.

The following documents have the watermark feature:

Cash Note
both "Test Printout" and "Copy"

Credit Note
both "Test Printout" and "Copy"

Invoice
both "Test Printout" and "Copy"

Payment Forms
"Test Printout" only

Receipt Forms
"Test Printout" only
Allow Same IP Addresses for Clients
Use this option if you want to log on to your Books by HansaWorld server more than once from the same IP address. This can sometimes be useful for testing. If you change this option, it will not take effect until you restart the server. The option has no effect in a single-user installation.
