Settings
Output Tab Click the Output tab and make sure the PDF reader (Adobe) is configured properly. Nevitium tries to configure this automatically for Windows and Linux users. It will also try to select the highest version of Adobe Reader on your machine; most people have several. If you have installed Adobe somewhere other than the default (pic) you will need to configure this manually. Click the PDF Reader button and select AcroRd32.exe wherever it may be. Nevitium tries to find "X:\Program Files\Adobe\" where X is the drive you installed Nevitium on. Mac users will have to configure their own PDF reader. Next verify the folders listed under the Output section. Nevitium tries to create two folders (pic), one for invoices and one for reports. These folders are where the PDF files will be stored when you generate an invoice or report. This defaults to your home directory; for Windows users this is the My Documents folder. These should be put somewhere convenient. Watermark is an optional setting to spruce up your reports. Only select .jpg, .bmp or .gif files no other types will display. Try to limit the image size to 300 x 100 (X,Y) points.
Company Information Tab Provide some information to make your invoices legal. You should at least fill in the Co Name and full address. If a logo is NOT provided Nevitium will print this information at the top of your invoices in the selected font. If a logo is provided this information will not be printed at the top. Company Contact Information is always printed (logo or not) in a very small font at the bottom of the invoice. Limit the logo area size to about 300 x 100 points(X,Y).
Inventory Tab Depending upon your coding system for your products you can change the default search field for the Inventory screen. You can always change this on the Inventory screen, this is just the default. Default Markup is a convenience setting to automatically generate a retail Price from the Cost amount entered on the Inventory screen. [Cost * Default Markup Points] After you have entered a Quantity and Cost Nevitium will fill in the retail price. This is easily overridden. Weight Unit needs set to your preferred unit of measurement for inventory weight. The inventory weight field used to be free form but now you should only input decimal numbers without unit designation (no lbs, kgs, etc..). If you measure in Imperial units (lbs) and an item weighs half a pound you would record it as .5 and specify lbs in Settings.
Invoice Tab You can set two independent tax rates. You can always toggle the taxes for each item on the Invoice and Inventory screens. Tax1 should be your local sales tax. Tax2 is usually industry specific. Invoice Prefix: These digits (up to three) can be prefixed to your auto-generated invoice numbers. Interest Rate needs set to .00 if you do not charge interest. The Grace Period prevents an interest charge for X amount of days since the invoice is opened. The interest rate provided is yearly, so it will be divided by 365 before being charged against each day past the grace period. Interest is calculated and displayed at each payment. The Default Scan Field will set the default (easily overridden on the Invoice screen) field to search for items scanned or entered in by hand. This is just a default setting, you can select either one on the Invoice screen. If you typically take a payment each time you generate an invoice you may want to select the last check box on this tab.
Security Tab Click the Manage Security button to enable or configure security. See Security Manager.
Data Files Tab The data for Nevitium is fixed in the "data" folder where you installed Nevitium. You can also specify primary and secondary default backup folders, the primary can be changed each time you backup; the secondary is always used if it is available.
