SETUP OVERVIEW
**************************************************
The Menu Bar for this area is as follows. A
description for each option can be found by pressing
the Menu Bar Help.
SETUP MENU:

SETUP is required to get the most out of LOWER'S
Business Solutions (LBS) program. Do immediately
upon installing the program. You must setup your
business environment parameters (business name,
state and city tax amount,etc.).
JOB TYPE and EXPENSE TYPE must also be setup
immediately. Caution should be used in setting up
the JOB TYPE and EXPENSE TYPE names. See ASSIGNING
NAMES below.
Go to Help on the SETUP BUTTON BAR for more
information. Then go through SETUP carefully. Do not
change a setting without good reason.
You must setup your printer with the following
printer option letter:
A) portrait 6 LPI
B) portrait 8 LPI
H) landscape 6 LPI
I) landscape 8 LPI
Of course, other printer option letters can be
defined but the A, B, H, and I must be as specified.
You may set the application program default settings
(Make sure pattern matching is case insensitive.).
You can set monitor screen color.
Network settings can be set.
Telephone dialer settings can be modified. If the
phone dialer doesn't work the settings must be
modified.
ASSIGNING NAMES: JOB TYPE and EXPENSE TYPE each have
space for one name assigned to each of sixteen
internal numbers. The numbers determine which fields
are involved in a calculation. Therefore, if you move
a name from one number to another number you will have
to change the number in the databases using that
name. For instance, if you change the number for
Portrait from number 1 to 10, you would have to change
all the numbers from 1 to 10 in the CLIENT, INCOME, and
EXPENSE, databases. You would use a Global expression much
like this.
