Entering information about your company
Basic data about your company - email, phone, website and address will be automatically filled in to the created catalogs, if they are not explicitly specified. This will free you from routine prescribing your data in all documents. But that won't stop you from changing your contact details locally, for example when customizing a template.
To enter these data, use the menu item File-About
Creating sections
Section
Different sections should be created for fundamentally different products with different sets of characteristics.
Subgroups within a section
For convenience, products can be combined into groups and subgroups in the form of a tree structure.
Products
Products within groups
Therefore, you first need to create a directory partition or set up a current demo partition (for the free version).
Important considerations:
Each section contains a set of characteristics independent of other sections - columns, column widths, formatting, formulas, etc.
You can generate a catalog for a specific section or for all sections at once
You can disable a section, then when creating a catalog from all sections, it will be skipped, it will not be uploaded to the online store or android catalog
Use the same main currency in all sections to avoid confusion
To set up sections, click on the button Sections
Create a new section or edit the current one.
Enter the name and purpose of the columns (Plain text, price, barcode, etc.)
Currency settings
After you have created a section and specified the desired columns, set up currencies.
Click the integral icon next to the desired column and select a currency from the list.
