The attributes in the Settings view are common to all companies.

Field descriptions

• Language
  • This is the current language of the application
  • The language codes are in ISO 639-1
  • The native language of the application is English en
  • Most of the translations are done with Google Translate so they are not great
  • You can correct your translation from Maintenance / Translate
  • If your preferred language is missing, you can translate it from English using the code xx
• Theme
  • Current color theme
• Windows/Linux only: user interface HTTP port
  • In Windows/Linux the application user interface is in web browser
  • The application has an embedded Web Server which interacts with your browser
  • This interactions happens thru a HTTP port
  • The default port of the application is 8480
  • If by chance your computer has already some application, which has reserved this port, you have to change the port from the TinyClerk console window, which is minimized in your Task bar or follow the porterror instructions
• Android only: help server port
  • The help pages are shown in web browser
  • The application has an embedded Help Web Server which interacts with your browser
  • This interactions happens thru a HTTP port
  • The default port of the application is 8040
  • If by chance your device has already some application, which has reserved this port, you have to change the port
• Android only: my email adress
  • This is used in save dialog if you want to send for example a report to your email
  • This is optional, you can fill the address also in the dialog
• Csv delimiter
  • This is used when a csv file is exported or imported
  • The possible values are: ;,:|~
  • You cannot use comma, if it is your decimal point or group separator
• Windows/Linux only: cloud backup path
  • You should use some cloud service as a back up location
  • Every service that shows as a folder path is ok
  • For example Microsoft OneDrive, Google Gdrive or Dropbox
  • Create a subfolder for TinyClerk under the service and set the path here
  • Examples:
    • C:\Users\nn\OneDrive\tcbk
    • G:\My Drive\tcbk
    • C:\Users\nn\Dropbox\tcbk
  • In Android the cloud backup destination is in the cloud backup dialog
• Use login/Login password
  • If you want to control your application usage with login screen, set the login password here
  • Don't forget the password, there is no restore mechanism
  • Settings are restored only with the emergency restore
  • In 24 hours the emergency backup is renewed and also there will be the password
  • If you want to skip the login, set the password empty
  • There is no restrictions for the password
  • The password is saved encrypted in a secure way, it cannot be restored
  • If you give a wrong password at login, there is a 10s wait before you get the result
  • There is no locking mechanism, you can try as many times as you want
  • In Windows/Linux you can get the login view from the title bar symbol ⊝
• Encrypt data
  • If you set this on, all your data is encypted on disk file
  • The encryption keeps your data safe from nosy eyes, but it is not foolproof safe
  • The encryption scheme is a compromise with safety and ease of use
  • Since there is no extremely sensitive data the ease of use is weighed more
  • The encryption grows your data about 25%
  • The encryption slows down the save process, but you wouldn't probably notice it
• Device backup period in days
  • The application takes local backups periodically according to this attribute
  • Backups are saved in local disk/internal memory
  • In Windows/Linux you can see the save path, if you make a local backup manually from Maintenance / Backup locally
  • In Windows/Linux this path is probably under your folder C:\users\nn, which is probably already in your device backup plan
  • Be sure to have a device backup plan
  • In Android the backups are in the internal memory of the device, which backs up with the backup plan of your device
• Device backups size max in MB
  • The application keeps old local backups until their total size grows over this limit (or next case)
  • When this limit exceeds, the oldest backup is deleted
• Device backups max number
  • The application keeps old local backups until their total number grows over this limit (or previous case)
  • When this limit exceeds, the oldest backup is deleted
• Cloud backup period in days
  • The application takes backups to your cloud folder periodically according to this attribute
  • To have this in effect, the Cloud backup path must have a functioning value in Windows/Linux
  • Cloud backups have no size or number control, so you have to control these manually
  • Zero value means that the cloud backup is off
• Voucher UI
  • 0 = the old UI in v1.0.x, outgoing feature in newer versions
  • 1 = the new, current and default UI from v1.1.x or newer
