General Settings
  1. Using an Administrator account, from the Fixably Home Screen, select your User Name menu and then click System Settings.



     
  2. From the Settings menu, click General.



     

General Settings

 

  • Locale - Fixably can be configured to work in any location. The locale settings enable Fixably Administrators to set the default currency and other location-specific settings.



     
  • Timezone - The Timezone setting configures the time settings for the entire environment. This setting configures the entire Fixably environment and supports a single timezone.



     
  • Repair Business Type - Fixably supports multiple types of repair businesses. Select what makes the most sense for your business.


 

  • Require Business ID for Companies - Enabling this option will require setting a Business ID in Company Profiles.



     
  • Lock products - Removes the ability to create new or modify existing products from those with User access permissions. To create a new product or change an existing product, a Fixably Administrator will need to perform the required action. 



     
  • Validate Order - Restricts the ability to close orders in Fixably unless one each of the following note types are added to the order: Issue, Diagnosis, Resolution. If any of these notes are missing, the Close button will remain unavailable.



     
  • Set default reception note type to "Detail" - Sets the default note type to Detail in all orders.



     
  • No shop assistant auto inside - Disables automatically setting the Internal Location to In Service when a Fixably user with the Shop Assistant role adds a device to an Order.



     
  • Hide "Charge" option - Removes the Charge option from the Payments menu for all users.



     
  • Do not require orders to be charged - Allows orders to be marked as Picked Up or Shipped without being Charged or Invoiced in the Payments menu.

     
  • Additional references - Creates custom-defined reference fields that are displayed in all orders in Fixably. 



     
  • Note minimum length - Define the minimum number of characters required in notes. Notes saved with fewer characters than this value will indicate that the minimum length has not been met.



     
  • Round prices - Three rounding options are available for Products retried via a GSX Integration.

  •  
    • No rounding - retains the selling and exchange price retrieved by GSX.
    • Round to the nearest whole number - rounds up the selling and exchange price to the nearest dollar.
    • Round to the nearest 10 - rounds up the selling and exchange price to the nearest 10 dollars.
      •  
        • All price rounding is applied before any applicable tax is calculated.

           
  • Show 'Out of Warranty' prices on printouts - When warranty products are added to an Order, the product pricing is shown as $0.00 on Printouts. With this setting enabled, a column is added after the product information that displays the non-warranty price of the product. 

 

  • Allow Dispatch Undo - This setting allows Administrators to undo a Product that has been accidentally Dispatched from the system. 


     
  • Social Security Information - For regions that require specific social security numbers listed on Paperwork, enable the below settings as needed.



    • Enable support for social security number
    • Enable user social security number in macro
    • Enable user social security number in API
       
  • Enable this option will allow only one device belong to an open order - This setting prevents creating a new Order via a Macro for a device already attached to an open Order.
