Creating a New Database (Single-user) - Settings

Each module contains a number of settings which can be used to control how that module operates. They are accessed using the 'Settings' item on the File menu or the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel. Before you start working with each module, you should consider its settings, since its functions depend on the settings being correct.

Many settings take the form of options or preferences. Others, such as Company Info, that will be considered next, require information or a number of records to be entered.

Changing the Company Name
The System module is where settings used throughout the Hansa system are determined. You will now use it to enter company name, address and other information to be used in reports and documents such as Invoices. Select 'System' from the Modules menu.

Select 'Settings' from the File menu or click the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel to bring up the 'Settings' list window:

In the list, select 'Company Info' by double-clicking. The 'Company Info: Inspect' window appears.

Enter the name, address and other data as shown in the example illustration.

The Bank Customer ID is an ID number used for automatic (modem) communication with certain credit institutions in some countries.

Click the [E-Mail] button towards the top centre of the window to see the other fields in this setting.

The Edit and Report Font fields allow you to select different fonts for use on screen and in reports respectively. If nothing is entered in these fields, Hansa's default fonts will be used. These fonts are selected for maximum readability, and should only be changed if you have good reasons to do so. In non-English versions of Hansa, these fields are used to select fonts with special character sets.

VAT Law and Character Set are used to ensure the behaviour of Hansa conforms to certain local conventions of the country in which it is being used. Depending on your location, you should enter one of the following values in these fields:

Byelorussia	46
Denmark	7
Estonia	27
Finland	13
France	1
Germany	2
Hungary	26
Iceland	15
