Setting up your Company Information
Before you begin working with Midnight, you need to set up your company information. This information will be printed on estimates, invoices and other areas throughout the system. At anytime you can go back and change the information on these pages.
The company information includes contact information, mailing address, phone numbers, e-mail, and web address. Additionally, you can attach logos to use on the system screens and client facing reports such as estimates and invoices.
To get to the company setup screen, click the Admin Settings panel, and then select global settings in the list on the left.
The first time you enter Midnight, you will need to enter your company information, or you may want to add a new company to the list. We will cover both processes below.
Editing an existing company record
In order to make changes to an existing company record, you must verify that you are on the Company Settings page in the Global Settings tab. If you are setting up your company for the first time, you can simply enter your company information and logos on this screen and click Save.
Adding a New Company Record
To add a new company record, or add a second company to your list, click on Add Company from the Select Company list. You may need to scroll up to see the option.
Once you have selected Add Company, you will see the Company screen, where you can enter the company name and address information. Here we created a company called Print Advanced International.
