# Unified Settings App

> Every setting now lives in one Settings app opened from the home page, with a new Back Office category alongside General, Front Office, Income, Loyalty Program and Integrations.

Settings now live in one app opened from the home page, covering every module.

### **Business Value**

* Ends hunting across three settings menus.
* Opens every setting from one place.
* Groups home-page settings into named sections.
* Keeps your existing settings bookmarks working.

### **Use Cases**

* Front office manager opens Settings from the home page.
* Accountant finds inventory and front office settings in one app.
* System administrator sends a colleague a direct link to a setting.

### **How It Works**

| **Where:** Home page → Settings |
| - |

Settings used to sit in three places:

* The Settings app.
* An old menu behind the home-page Settings tile.
* The Back Office settings tree.

They are now one app.

#### **Opening Settings**

* **Settings** is a top-level app on the home page and in the app switcher.
* It has its own app switcher, so you can move to another module directly.
* The **Front Office** and **Back Office** entry points still work. They open the same app with all categories.

#### **The categories**

The app has six categories in this order:

**General · Front Office · Back Office · Income · Loyalty Program · Integrations**

The groups inside each category are unchanged.

#### **What moved into General**

Everything behind the old home-page Settings tile is now in **General**, grouped instead of listed flat:

| Group | Screens |
| - | - |
| Property Settings | *unchanged* |
| System Users | Users, Divisions |
| Notifications & Templates | Email Notifications, Signatures, Custom Listing, Custom Tags, User Templates, Custom Uploads |
| Audit & Night | Advance Night Settings, Advance Night, Open Invoices Settings, Setup Audit Date |
| Proxy | Proxy, FIAS Log |
| Mandatory Fields | *unchanged* |
| Scheduled Reports | *unchanged* |

| **Note:** **FIAS Log** still appears only when a proxy IP is set. |
| - |

#### **The new Back Office category**

The whole Back Office settings tree moves in, with its groups and order intact:

**Accounts · British Accounting System · Inventory · Vendors · Financial Setup · Staff · Food Cost · Invoice Reminders**

**British Accounting System** is shown only when that accounting system is on. It still comes after **Accounts**.

#### **Permissions**

| **Note:** The sidebar is not filtered by permission. Everyone sees every category, including Back Office. Permission is checked when you **open** a screen. Without it you get the usual message. No one gains access to anything new. |
| - |

#### **Links and bookmarks**

* Every moved screen keeps its own link.
* The two old menus now redirect into the Settings app, so your bookmarks still work.
* Switching language reloads the screen in the new language.

| **Note:** The screens themselves did not change. They now open inside the Settings app. |
| - |

#### **What is not included**

**POS settings**, **Reports**, **Channel Management** and **Online Booking** keep their own menus. This unifies settings, not modules.

## ***Update: September 14, 2026***

### **Search for Any Settings Page**

Type a page name in the Settings top bar to open it. You no longer need to click through the menu.

### **What's New?**

* A search box in the top bar finds any settings page by name.
* Before, the left menu was the only way to reach a page.

### **How It Works**

| **Where:** Settings → top bar |
| - |

#### **Search for a Page**

* The search box is in the top bar, between the property logo and the audit date.
* It is on every Settings screen.
* When Settings opens, start typing right away. You do not need to click the box first.
* Search looks at the page name and its menu path. Both "bed types" and "housekeeping" find the pages you expect.
* Before you type, the list shows every page you can open.
* Each result shows the page name, then its menu path. For example: **Bed Types — Front Office › Rooms**.
* The clear button empties the box and shows the full list again.

#### **Use the Keyboard**

The first result is highlighted when the list opens.

| **Key** | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Up / Down arrows** | Move through the results. |
| **Enter** | Opens the highlighted page. |
| **Escape** | Closes the list. |

#### **Open a Page**

* Choose a result to open that page.
* The menu moves with you. The section and the group open, and the page is marked in the menu.

#### **What Search Shows**

* Only the pages you are allowed to open.
* Pages hidden for your property do not show. Examples are country-specific government integrations and Hijri-only screens.

| **Note:** Search never shows a page that the menu hides. |
| - |

#### **On Small Screens**

* The search box becomes a search icon in the top bar.
* Tap the icon to open a full-width search field. The results work the same way.
