Figure 1.  quikSlip Preferences

• Number of Orders Displayed Per Page:  Enter a valid number from 1-99 and quikSlip will set this to customize the internal paging system.  The value represents the number of orders to display per page in the main interface

• Show Vendor Name with Order Number (Main UI):  If checked (default) and an order has a drop shipper (vendor), the main interface will identify the drop shipper from which this order is being shipped.

• Show (Package ID) with Order Number (Main UI):  To help pair up shipments that may occur under the same order number, quikSlip can identify an order not only by its order number but also by the associated package ID which is output with an Export CSV run.

• Show [Unique  ID] with Order Number (Main UI):  If checked, the Order Unique ID (UID) will be displayed to the right of the order number in [Brackets].

• Fix Double-Shipping Bug:  In older versions of StoreFront the shipping would be saved as double the actual shipping value.  Check this checkbox if experiencing this issue

• Add Product Plural Names on Pull Sheets:  Some merchants use the product plural name field for other uses and requested the addition of this field to pull sheets for reference

• Show Barcode on Packing Slips/Invoices:  If checked, barcode (of order number) will appear just above the Bill To box

• Barcode Symbology:  Select the desired symbology for barcoding.  Default is Code 128.

• Hide Shipping on Vendor Notification:   For merchants that have vendors that ship regardless of the customer selected shipping method this option is to hide the ship method on the drop ship notifications to avoid confusion.

• One Order per Page (Vendor Notifications):  The default is to have a running list of orders for each vendor.  If checked, each order will be printed on a separate page.

• Swap Billing and Shipping Addresses:  If checked, the Ship To box will be located on the left side of the Invoice/Packing Slip and the Bill To box will be located on the right side.

• Disable Report Alternating Row Shading:  For fax compatibility clearing this checkbox will disable alternating row shading in reports that provide this functionality (Invoice/Packing Slip)

• Separate Slips by Shipping Vendor:  When checked, Invoices/Packing Slips will filter the order items by the Shipping Vendor.  This allows merchants to provide vendor specific PDA Invoice/Packing slips.

• Hide Vendor Name on Invoices/Packing Slips:  When checked and invoices are separated by vendor (checkbox above) the vendor name will remain hidden for confidentiality and not revealing your vendors.

• Display Price Group on Packing Slip/Invoices:  When checked, if the customer belongs to a price group, the price group will be annotated on the bottom portion of the slip

• Enable Keep Alive:  When checked, the main page will automatically refresh/reload every 19 minutes to prevent the user session from timing out

• Bypass Date, Shipping, Payment Filters on Order Number and Name Searches:  When checked, the date and status filters (payment/shipping status) are not included in the filter when retrieving orders.  For example, if searching for an Order Number, you would typically have to change the Date Filter to "All."  With this option checked, you can enter an order number and immediately click Get Orders to find the order number.  It also applies to name and company searches.

• Insert Brief Shipment Tracking Message into TrackingMessage Field:  When checked, a brief shipment tracking message will be displayed when the customer views the tracking history on their order.  However, StoreFront will check if this field is blank, if so will retrieve real-time tracking data from carriers that StoreFront supports real-time tracking such as UPS, etc.  The default is not checked so real-time tracking data, if available, will be displayed.

• Check selection checkboxes on Order Data Retrieval:  When checked, on initial main page load and after any click of "Get Orders" the selection checkboxes on the far left of each row will be checked.  Boxes must be checked to select orders for reports.  This option gives the quikSlip user the option to have all boxes checked then selectively uncheck as desired, or vice-versa.

• Include Shipping Phone/Fax/E-Mail in "Ship To" Box:  When checked, if the customer provides a phone, fax, and e-mail address for the shipping address, the phone/fax/e-mail (if existing) will be included in the "Ship To" box for your information.  Clear the checkbox for a cleaner "Ship To" box containing only address information.

• Warn Payment Pending for Unpaid orders on Slips:  When checked and an order is printed (invoice or packing slip), if the order is still payment pending a watermark "Payment Pending" will appear to warn merchants from shipping unpaid orders.

• PDF Rendering:  The default is "PDF Download" which will render the PDF and trigger the download option in the web browser.  You can click OPEN to view the PDF in Adobe Acrobat or save it if desired.  This method allows for more streamlined operations and prevent "back button" issues with the web browser.  The other option is "Web Browser" mode where the PDF will be rendered for Adobe Acrobat to handle based on its settings, such as view inside the web browser.  Some merchants configure Adobe Acrobat so as to not open Adobe inside the web browser whereas this may be a more streamlined viewing method for that scenario.

• Default Carrier:  Select the default shipment carrier to display on quikSlip's main interface for new orders awaiting processing

• Default Ship Date:  When double-clicking in the Ship Date cell a date will be entered automatically.  This value determines which date will be entered when double-clicking in the cell.
