38.1The Options screen and how it works New in 2026
The screen opens inside the main window. The dark band at the top reads Options and "How this company bills, prints, warns and works". On the right of that band sit the search box, Classic view and Close.
- The list on the left shows the sections. Each name has a small letter badge and, at the far right, the number of settings inside. Click a name to open it.
- The right side shows that section's settings in cards, two columns wide. Each card has a heading in capitals (for example SALE BILL) and one row per setting: the name on the left, the control on the right.
- Controls. An on/off setting is a switch: teal means on, grey means off. A choice is a drop-down. A number or text is a box. A few rows also have an Edit button that opens a related screen, such as Sale Type or Discount Setting.
- Mouse wheel. Rolling the wheel over a closed drop-down scrolls the page. It does not change the setting by accident.
The 14 sections. Most used comes first and holds the settings people change most. Those settings are not repeated in their own sections, but search finds every one.
Search. Click the box that reads Search 138 settings, or press Ctrl+F, and type part of a word. The screen shows every matching row from every section, each under its section name. Search looks at the setting names, the card headings and the section names. If nothing matches you see "No setting matches" with a hint to try a shorter word, such as round, print, barcode, negative or whatsapp. Esc clears the search.

Questions and answers
Do I have to set Options on every PC?
No. Options belongs to the company, so every PC that opens it follows the same settings. Only the fiscal printer rows are kept per PC.
Where did the old Options tabs go?
Click Classic view at the top right. New look brings you back. Both save the same settings.
