As you get started in the software, before adding bank accounts, properties, or tenants to the program, it's a good idea to review all default settings. 

The Settings tab is how you are going to personalize your experience in the program to set up and optimize the features for your business needs.

First Things First for Getting Started

When getting started, the most critical Settings to review in detail are the Accounting & Program Defaults. They are the first two options when you visit the Settings tab. 

Tip: Throughout the program, you will find blue question mark (?) help icons. Hover your mouse over the icon provides more detail about that function, setting, or tool.
