This is a list of areas on the Program Settings pages as seen from left to right, top to bottom. Some of the page will look different depending on what options you have purchased, but this list describes all the options. An image of the settings page if you have purchased the Professional Edition and some OCR scans is here, or you can see an image of the page for the Basic Edition here. If you reached this list by tapping an active area in one of those page images, the relevant heading should be highlighted below.
This line tells you whether you are using the Basic Edition or have purchased a Professional Edition subscription and so have cloud storage capabilities.
This shows the current latitude and longitude of the device running the program, along with the estimated accuracy of that location. This is the value that will be used for the location of any new venue you create or any venue you use that doesn't currently have a location.
This area allows you to set defaults for various things used when calculating bill totals and splits. DivisiBill will warn you if the current bill is not using these defaults. This warning is especially helpful when you base a new bill on an older one and inherit old values that are no longer correct (like an incorrect tax rate).
This button restores any hints hidden by selecting their "Hide this hint" checkboxx.
Restores any dialogs hidden by checking their "Do not ask me again" checkbox (such as the crash dialog, for example).
Press this to create an archive file containing all the Bills, Venues and People currently saved, as well as selected program defaults. A cloud storage app like Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive lets you store archives in the cloud for free with as much or as little encryption as you like. There are also a number of free Android file management apps (Total Commander, for example) that will permit archives to be saved locally, which is fast but offers no protection against system failure.
Press this to locate an archive file previously created by the "Archive" button and restore its contents. If an item of the same name already exists, the archived one will be ignored. Optionally, you can elect to remove all existing items before restoring any new ones (see "Delete All Switch" below).
Changes the behavior of the Restore button so it removes ALL EXISTING ITEMS before restoring anything from an archive file. WARNING: THIS OPTION CAN REMOVE ALL YOUR LOCAL DATA, so be sure that is what you want before setting it.
If you are running the Professional Edition, the "Allow Cloud Backup" switch allows you to specify whether or not to automatically back up changed items to the cloud. The Basic Edition of DivisiBill cannot use cloud backup but can use manual archiving instead. For more details, see this page.
This selection is available only in the Professional Edition and is usable only when "Allow Cloud Backup" is set. If you turn on this switch, DivisiBill will automatically back up changed items to the cloud only when a WiFi connection is available to minimize the use of mobile data. If this switch is not set and cloud access is enabled, backup operations will occur whenever Internet connectivity is available.
If you are using the Professional Edition, this button opens up a web site to permit you to view, modify or cancel that subscription.
This allows you to purchase a Professional Edition subscription to enable cloud operations in DivisiBill; without a subscription, you should use manual archive/restore instead. For more details, see this page.
This shows you your Pro Subscription order number. In the Basic Edition this area is replaced by a "Subscribe" button.
All versions of DivisiBill allow you to purchase "scans" to extract information from a picture of a printed bill, using cloud-based OCR scanning from the Image page. Each OCR operation costs one scan; when the number of scans remaining reaches zero, you must buy more before another OCR operation will be allowed. (For more details see this page.) If you have scans remaining, this area will show you how many are left and the purchasing order number; otherwise it will show a button to order additional scans.
