Company Information 

To access Settings, click the cog icon in the top menu section of the page. Then, select System Configuration from the drop down menu.

Your settings are accessed on the General and Security pages:

Company Information can be found on the General tab. Here you can add your company details such as your company Name, Contact Details and Address:

If your website allows, these will also be dynamically linked to your site and will update the address and other contact details in your website footer.

Regional Settings

Regional Settings are also found on the General tab. Here you can update some of your general system settings:

Country

This setting controls the format of the dates displayed throughout the system.

Time Zone

You can set the time zone for your system.

Distance Unit

This is used for postcode radius searching in searches and in potential matches.

Enhanced Postcode Lookup

This is used to enable postcode radius searching in searches and in potential matches.

Home Currency 

Choose the default currency for your system. This will appear throughout your system including jobs, adverts and candidate records.

Phone Country Code

Choose the default country code for phone numbers on your system.

Enterprise users can edit all of these settings per individual site.

Calendar Settings

You can change the calendar that your Firefish system runs on to suit your business. For example, if your year starts in April, you can make April the start of the year on Firefish.

The calendar affects your business plan and KPIs on both the dashboard and within settings. Changing the year will also cause your previous year's data to be reported/displayed with the new settings.

To start the year in January select the Jan-Dec mode, or to start the year in any other month select the Flexible Year Start.

If you've selected Flexible Year Start in the Calendar Mode, you'll need to select the month in which your year starts from the Start Month drop down.

Next, select the Quarter Mode. This depends on whether your weeks run on 4-4-5, 4-5-4 or 5-4-4 weeks within each month of the quarter:

Sales Projection Mode lets you select whether you are forecasting weekly, monthly or quarterly.

Finally, Start of business week lets you change your business start day, i.e if you're working week begins on a Sunday.

Once you're happy with your new settings, just click Save.

Dashboard Settings
