Manage Settings

Configure

Most Macabacus settings can be configured in the Settings dialog, accessed by clicking the Macabacus > Settings > Configure button. Most changes made in the Settings dialog are immediately reflected in the Office application from which this dialog was launched, but you may need to restart other Office applications for changes to be reflected there.

Export / Import / Reset Settings

Export Settings

Backing up your Macabacus settings allows you to import them on another computer, avoiding the need to tediously configure Macabacus the same way on multiple computers. Note that export and import operations do not involve library content and templates—you must back them up separately, if desired.

If you elect to send usage data to Macabacus (enabled by default) and your computing environment supports communication with Macabacus' server, most Macabacus settings will be uploaded automatically to Macabacus' server—the "cloud"—when you modify them in the Settings dialog, among other places.

If you chose not to send usage data to Macabacus, your computing environment does not support communication with Macabacus' server, Macabacus is in trial mode, or for any other reason, you can manually export your settings to an XML file by clicking the Macabacus > Settings > Export button.

Import Settings

You can import settings saved to the cloud or an XML file by clicking the Macabacus > Settings > Import button. Additionally, you can download settings saved to the cloud as an XML file from within your Admin Console.

Reset Settings

If you need to revert to Macabacus' default settings, click the Macabacus > Settings > Reset button. Any shared settings published by your organization will overwrite the default settings upon reset.
