ShowBiz points to your documents, so you can have your own header, footer and other custom settings.
To set up the documents, do as follows:
1. Start ShowBiz and log in
2. Select the following menus at the top of ShowBiz: "Utilities > System > Document Locations" to open the following screen:
Labels against the yellow icons are the different types of documents that you can set ShowBiz to use, and the labels against the white icons are the locations of those documents.
The Contacts, Membership, Stands and Entries categories are for folders
3. For any documents that aren't set, or that you want to change, click on the appropriate line of text with the white iconEither...
4a. Click the Browse button at the bottom right and use the "Browse for Folder" screen to choose the folder the document is held in
or...
4b. Click the icon again if it's already got text to edit it directly (i.e. if you're pasting the text from the clipboard or typing it manually)
Tip 1: Go to another user's PC that has documents set up, go to the "Document Locations" screen and click the "Copy all details to clipboard" button at the bottom left and then email it to yourself
Tip 2: Set just the first folder (Contacts) and then click the "Guess" button at the bottom right to have ShowBiz try and work out where all the other folders and documents are.
Tip 3: The cheque run process uses the Accounts path (in this example: c:\working folder\showbiz\showbiz3 v2\showbizfiles\merge docs\accounts). Within this accounts folder you will need to have a 'cheque run' folder containing all your cheque run templates. The cheque run screen will look for this location to provide the list of templates.
