Other Settings
Default Proposal Template – iPoint has the capacity to have multiple proposal templates (set up in Settings > Custom Templates and used when printing Proposals and Sales Orders.) A company might have separate Commercial and Residential templates. Or there might be a different template for different office locations. By selecting the Default Proposal Template, iPoint can automatically use a specific template for each individual user. This template can be changed during printing as needed.
Maps Preference – Throughout the software are links to open an Internet map for each address. From this drop-down menu, a user can choose whether they want their maps to be opened in Google Maps or Apple Maps.
Use hourly time clock
This checkbox will turn on the hourly time clock button on the iPoint dashboard. The hourly time clock tracks the user’s overall time worked during a workweek and is separate from the work order check-in time.
Limit Sales View
A tick in this box will restrict the user to only see Proposals and Sales Orders where the user is marked as the salesperson, hiding proposals and sales orders for other sales staff members. This setting does not restrict access if the user is marked as the Technical Designer or Project Manager. By default (with a clear check-box), all users can view all sales documents, provided they have been granted permission to view those two modules.

This section defines how this user is tied to various data elements in QuickBooks. This is typically used when utilizing QuickBooks Payroll so that you can sync hourly work order time from iPoint into QB timesheets.
- Map to QuickBooks Employee – from the dropdown menu, select the corresponding employee as defined in QuickBooks.
- Map to QuickBooks Sales Rep – use the dropdown menu to pick the corresponding QuickBooks Salesman.
- Map to QB Payroll Item – pick the QuickBooks Wage Item that matches the employee’s wage in QB Payroll.
Note: These QuickBooks items are set up in QuickBooks and pulled into iPoint when you Pull Chart of Accounts in Settings > QuickBooks > Chart of Accounts.

Or you can let salespeople only see what is available in their store’s warehouse and not what is available in other Sites.
