Editing HomeBase Properties

To update Abebooks HomeBase version 2.3 properties:

1. Click the [Options] button in the toolbar.
2. Click the Editing tab.
3. Select the editing properties. If you select:
• [Confirm Adds], a message is displayed each time you add or update information requiring you to click [OK]. Turn this off to bypass these confirmation messages.
• [Automatic Proper Casing], when you type information, the first letter of each word is capitalized even if you typed a lowercase letter.
• [Intelligent Author List], the author field becomes an intelligent field, which helps to reduce data entry.  Please note that selecting this field may reduce the performance of HomeBase.
• [Intelligent Publisher List], the publisher field becomes an intelligent field. Please note that selecting this field may reduce the performance of HomeBase.
• [Remind of software updates, days between reminders], HomeBase 2.3 will automatically check the Abebooks Web site to see if there are new versions of the software available.  If there are, you will be prompted to download them and will have the choice to do so now or to be reminded again the entered amount of days later (maximum 999 days).
• [Automatically generate Book IDs], you do not have to type a book number each time you enter a book. HomeBase numbers your books automatically for you. Turning this option off allows you to enter your own book number for each new book and modify existing book numbers.  Abebooks recommends utilizing this feature.
• [These taxes are included in the book price], you are indicating that the tax rates indicated in the text boxes are built into your book prices. (You are required to enter the tax names and percentages here.)  HomeBase automatically calculates which portion of the book price is a tax on each invoice.
• [Include these taxes on invoice by default], the taxes will automatically be added on to your book price on your invoices.  You have the option to exempt taxes with each order, as well.
• [Print Tax ID on Invoice], your printed invoice will include the Tax ID you enter here.
4. Click the [OK] button to save your changes.
