Shop Settings

Shop Settings is where you set the shop-floor basics that everything else builds on: what units you measure in, how your build sheets look, the production stations work passes through, and your printable label templates.

Navigation: Settings → Shop

Availability: Production and up. On lower plans this page shows an upgrade prompt.

Note: These settings used to be documented under Settings → Orders in older guides. They live under Settings → Shop now. In particular, Units of Measurement and Build Sheet options are here — not on the Orders/Store settings page (which has its own, separate document font size for quotes and invoices).

The page has three tabs: General, Stations, and Labels.


General

Units of Measurement

Set how measurements are entered and shown across the app and on your documents.

SettingWhat it does
Units of MeasurementChoose Imperial or Metric. This drives which unit choices appear below.
Default Unit TypeThe default unit for measurements (e.g. inches for Imperial). The options change to match the system you picked.
Display as FractionWhen on, measurements show as fractions (e.g. 1/2") instead of decimals.
Fraction PrecisionThe smallest fraction ever displayed: 1/8", 1/16", 1/32", or 1/64". Defaults to 1/32". Anything finer is rounded to this.

Tip: Most cabinet shops work in Imperial with fractions on and precision at 1/32" — the default. Set this once and it applies everywhere.

Build Sheet Settings

Build sheets (also called cut sheets) are the printable shop-floor documents that tell your team what to cut and build. These options control how they look.

SettingWhat it doesDefault
Font SizeText size on the build sheet, from 8pt to 24pt.12pt
Display Fractions in Build SheetsShow measurements as fractions instead of decimals on the sheet.Off
Display Attribute Photos in Build SheetsAppend your product/attribute photos on their own page in the sheet.Off
Enable Build Sheet Page BreaksStart each product on a fresh page for cleaner, easier-to-follow sheets.Off
Landscape Build SheetsGenerate the sheet in landscape orientation instead of portrait.Off

Note: The build-sheet font size (8–24pt) is a different control from the document font used on quotes, acknowledgements, and invoices, which lives under Order Settings. Build sheets are the shop's working copy; quotes and invoices are the customer-facing documents.

Remember to click Save Changes after editing anything on the General tab.


Stations

Stations are the steps an order passes through on your floor — for example Cut → Assemble → Sand → Finish → Pack. They are the backbone of the production dashboard and the scanner: orders advance station by station, and the tracking board and scanner both read the station list you define here.

Each station has:

FieldWhat it does
Station NameThe label your team sees (e.g. "Finishing").
ColorA swatch that color-codes the station on the production schedule and board. New stations start from an on-brand palette; you can pick any color.
Assign to LocationsWhich shop location(s) this station belongs to. Stations are location-scoped, so each site can have its own line. New stations default to your primary location.

Ordering matters. Drag stations up and down to set the sequence work flows in — the order is saved as soon as you drop. On the tracking board, checking off a station automatically marks every earlier station done, so the sequence here defines that "everything before is finished" behavior.

Tip: Set your stations up before you start moving orders through production. Changing the order later is fine, but getting the sequence right first makes the tracking board behave the way your floor actually works.


Labels

Define printable label templates for your products and shipments — the layout of a standard label sheet so printed labels line up correctly.

FieldWhat it does
Label NameA name for this template.
Width / HeightThe size of each individual label, in inches.
Labels Per RowHow many labels sit across one row of the sheet.
Labels Per SheetHow many labels are on a full sheet.
Top Margin / Side MarginThe blank margin from the edge of the sheet to the first label, in inches.
Horizontal Gap / Vertical GapThe spacing between labels, in inches.
Count MethodCount Quantity prints one label per unit automatically; Enter Manually lets you type how many to print.

Match these numbers to the label stock you buy so what prints lands squarely on each label.
