Setup

You will be able to use DocuTie without going through the setup pages. All important settings have been set during the installation.

In case you would like to change a setting, you will find the DocuTie setup in the central search page in Dynamics 365 Business Central or in the Dynamics 365 Business Central menu "Manual Setup" (if this is part of your Role Center).

Access the DocuTie setup via the central search page (1) and either the search term (2) DocuTie Einrichtung or the search term DocuTie setup (depending on the chosen language).

DocuTie PDF Report Setup

DocuTie will save and link the printed version of outbound documents (like e.g. Quotation, Delivery Note, Invoice, etc.) when you print or send them. Learn more about this in our tutorial.

If you change the Dynamics 365 Business Central "Report Selection - Sales" after installing DocuTie, then open the DocuTie "PDF Report Setup" and assign the desired reports there.

To do this, open the DocuTie "PDF Report Setup" from the menu "Related Setups - PDF Report Setup" from the DocuTie setup.

User Setup

You will be able to use DocuTie without going through the setup. All important settings have been set during the installation. Your content is protected from being changed or deleted by the default settings.

However, if you want to allow users to delete content, you can explicitly allow the user to do so in the User Setup.

Access the DocuTie setup as described above. Start the User Setup from the menu "Navigate - User Setup".
