Features and Settings
A feature is one part of Al-Mohaseb that an administrator can turn on or off, such as Accounting. A feature that is off has no menus and no screens. This page is for administrators: it shows where features are turned on and where their settings live.
| Menu | Tools > Features |
| Permission | Manage Features |
| Feature | Features |
What you see depends on your role. If the menu, a button or a setting on this page is missing, ask your administrator to give you the permission listed above or to turn on the feature. Only administrators can turn features on and change site settings.
When your business was set up
When a new business site is set up, the person setting it up picks a kind of business, such as Almohaseb - Convenience store or Almohaseb - Service business. That choice turns on the features the business needs, so most businesses never have to visit Tools > Features.
| Kind of business | What it is for | Business day starts at |
|---|---|---|
| Almohaseb - Convenience store | Convenience stores, gas stations and other retail businesses that run a cash register. | 04:00, so late-night sales belong to the previous day |
| Almohaseb - Service business | Businesses that bill customers with service tickets and invoices. | Midnight |
Turn on a feature
- Go to Tools > Features.
- Find the Almohaseb group, or type the feature's name in the search box.
- Choose Enable next to the feature.
Turning a feature on also turns on everything it needs. Turning it off hides its menus and screens but keeps its data, so turning it on again brings everything back.
Al-Mohaseb's features
| Feature | What it adds | Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Accounting | The books of the business: the chart of accounts, and the business profile and background jobs every other part relies on. | Settings > Business profile |
Some parts of Al-Mohaseb are not features you can choose. They turn on by themselves when a feature needs them, and you will not find an Enable button for them. The business profile, the list search and filters, and Tools > Jobs all work this way: they come with Accounting.
