The Preferences sheet can be accessed by selecting Bill Engine > Preferences. It contains six sections:
- General. Here, you can specify the items to be displayed in the Manage Bar, select the starting number for your invoices, and indicate how soon the timer should switch to the Idle mode.
- Taxes. In Preferences, you can set various tax rates to be used in your invoices and give them appropriate names. If you apply more than one tax rate on each product or service and all rates have the same priority, check the Combine Taxes box.
- iCal. This section allows you to sync your invoice dates with iCal.
- My Info. Enter, edit, or delete any information that you want to include in all or most of the invoices you prepare with Bill Engine. The options available include your company name, logo, and contact information, among others.
- Currencies. This section allows you to set the default currency and operational currencies and to download the current exchange rates.
- Security. Here, you can set a password to secure your Bill Engine data file. Every time you open the file, you will be asked to enter the password. If you use multiple data files, you can set a password for each.
