Help · Getting started

Finding your way round in SwiftlyBooks

The menu, New, search, the day's rates, the bell, Help and Swiftly: where each is and what it does.

On every page

  • The menu on the left has everything you work on, grouped as Sales, Purchases, Accountant, and Tax and compliance. You see the pages your role opens.
  • New, at the top, starts an invoice, a receipt, a bill or an expense.
  • Search, at the top, finds a page, a customer or supplier, a document, an account or an item by its name, number or amount. ⌘K, or Ctrl K, opens it from anywhere.
  • The rate at the top is today's rate for each currency you trade in. Press it to see or set the day's rates.
  • The branch at the top is the one you're working in. Each branch numbers its own documents.
  • The bell lists what is waiting for you: approvals, and what needs doing.
  • The ? opens Help for the page you're on, with guides for the first jobs. The ? key opens it too.
  • Swiftly, the glowing button at the bottom right, answers questions about your books and drafts what you ask for.

On a phone

  • The bar at the bottom has Home, Sales and Banking. More opens the whole menu.
  • SwiftlyBooks can be added to your phone's home screen and opened like an app. Get the app, at the end of the menu, says how.
