Preferences
To access the Preferences dialog, click on the Preferences button. You will be presented with the Preferences dialog. Once set, your settings are saved and some are shown on the status bar.
The Preferences dialog is separated in four sections called Reminders, Regional, Rents and Skins.
The Reminders consists of a Backups at Logout checkbox. Checking Backups at Logout means that you will be presented with the Backup file chooser every time you exit the application.
In the Regional section, you can set your Language and Currency preferences. Presently, supported languages are English and French. Setting the language will change the application's view and reports to the desired language. The currency can be any one to three characters you wish to put and is not limited to $. It is used for display purposes on screens and in reports. The Language settings take effect the next time you start the application.
The Rents section allows Rent Indexation as it is enforced in some jurisdictions. When this percentage is higher than 0%, the rents are automatically indexed by the percentage that you indicate here. During the recurring charge postings, the rent charges are increased by x% along with the rental value of the unit in question at the lease anniversary date. Therefore, the lease start dates must also be indicated. If the percentage is changed periodically, make sure to post all incomes and print invoices before modifying it. It is also very important to specify the Rent Account to let ProprioSoft index the rents and not some other income account.
The Skins section includes two types of skins with various combinations of Themes and Look and Feels. The Classic skin is identical to the unique version 2.0 skin. The Skins settings take effect the next time you start the application.
Some functions are displayed in red, which indicates preferences that applies to all users and are not only personal preferences.
