Settings

My Settings

Personal workstation preferences — barcode printer, parcel label printer, scanner, default tag style, dashboard preferences, and your appraiser title. Pinned to your user account, not the workstation, so the same settings follow you between devices (but the device names you pick must exist on the workstation you're sitting at).

The My Settings page (/settings/me) is where each user configures their own printing, scanning, and dashboard preferences. Identity stuff (display name, password, sessions) is on My Profile.

Defaults

  • Default store — your home store. Setting it pre-fills the Store field on new invoices, metal buys, and other entry forms so you don’t have to choose it every time. Leave it on — None — if you genuinely work across all locations. Single-location shops can ignore this — those forms fall back to the only store automatically.

Tag Printing

  • Barcode Printer — the printer used for tag printing from inventory and the bulk Print Tags page. The dropdown is populated by JSPrintManager running on your workstation; if JSPM isn’t running, you can still type a printer name (it’ll be used when JSPM next connects).
  • Tag Style — the default tag template for new prints (TT360B, TT365, etc.). Picking one shows a live preview with the tag image, overall size, and printable area.
  • Default Copies — how many of each tag to print by default.
  • Heat Setting — the printer’s thermal heat (0-30). Higher = darker. Tune to your label stock.
  • Row / Column Offset — fine-tune tag positioning if your printer’s calibration is off.

Parcel Labels

  • Parcel Label Printer — usually a different printer from the barcode tag printer (e.g. shipping labels).
  • Rotation — how to rotate the label image (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°).

Workstation

  • Scanner Name — the scanner connected to your workstation, used for capturing appraisal photos. Populated by JSPM.
  • Appraisal Paper Tray — which paper tray the printer should pull from when printing appraisals, for printers with dual trays loaded with different stock (e.g. plain paper in one, appraisal letterhead in the other). Populated from the chosen printer’s tray list.
  • UI Font Size — Small / Medium / Large for the app’s overall font scale.

The inactivity timeout isn’t editable here — it’s a security setting administered at the org level. Defaults are 2 hours for the browser app and 8 hours for the installed PWA; your account’s sysadmin can override either per organization.

Other

  • Appraiser Title — what shows under your name on appraisal reports (e.g. “GIA Graduate Gemologist”).

The Exclude trades toggle that used to live here is now on the Sales History chart on the dashboard itself — flip it once and the choice sticks across devices.

Why these are per-user, not per-store

Every employee may sit at a different workstation with different printers, scanners, and trays plugged in. Storing these per-user means your settings travel with your account, but the device names you pick still have to exist on the machine you’re physically using. If a device dropdown is empty, start JSPrintManager on the workstation and reload.

Admin note

Admins do not edit other users’ workstation preferences — those settings only make sense in the context of the user’s own machine. If a user is having trouble configuring theirs, walk them through this page rather than setting it for them from the Users management screen.
