Preferences: setting up each screen your way

Each screen in SpinOffice has its own preferences. With them, you decide what you see and how it looks. You open them with the gear icon at the top right of the screen. The preferences only apply to you; your colleagues keep their own settings.

Are you in a user template? Then your administrator can set part of these settings for your whole group. Read more: User templates

Home preferences

• Edit layout & widgets: choose which blocks you see on your start screen.
• Introduction video and Show tour again: watch the first-time explanation again.

Contact list preferences

• Show colored top bar: the bar at the top gets the screen's color, green for contacts. When off, the bar is gray.
• Show colored tiles: the blocks in the contact widget each get their own background color. When off, they are white.
• Show address with contact details: the address is also shown in the Contact details block.
• Show finished folders and Show finished tasks: finished folders and tasks stay visible in the Folders / Tasks block. When off, you only see what's still open there.

Under Actions you'll find:

• Edit widget: choose which blocks, tabs and columns you see. Read more: Setting up your contact screen
• Find duplicate contacts: look for contacts that are in SpinOffice twice. Read more: Merging duplicate contacts
• View import history: see your earlier imports again. Read more: Importing contacts
• Sync Office 365 contacts. Read more: Syncing contacts with Microsoft 365

Inbox preferences

• Show Sticky Notes: a yellow note appears below the email, giving you more room for a note.
• Show finished folders and Show finished tasks: just like in the contact list, you also see finished folders and tasks in the contact widget.
• Share my Inbox with everyone: your colleagues can view your Inbox. Read more: Viewing a colleague's inbox
• Search options: choose whether the search field searches subject and content, or by name. Read more: Searching in SpinOffice
• Under Actions you'll find your Email accounts and your Sender settings. Read more: Managing your mailboxes

Calendar preferences

• Share my calendar with everyone: your colleagues see your appointments. Read more: Sharing with colleagues
• Show tasks widget: your current tasks appear on the right of your calendar.
• Show day view widget: on the right, you see all appointments of the day you click. Handy in the month view.
• Show items per user: see how many appointments everyone has that week or month.
• Show shared appointments separately: an appointment with several colleagues then doesn't appear as one appointment, but as a separate appointment per colleague, each in their own color.
• Show only deleted items: you only see deleted appointments, and can restore them. Don't forget to untick it again afterwards.
• Show birthdays: put your contacts' birthdays in your calendar. Choose All, Only my contacts or None. SpinOffice uses the Date of birth field on the contact for this.
• Start week on: Monday or Sunday.
• Time interval: the steps in the day and week view, from 15 to 60 minutes.
• Day starts at and day ends at: which part of the day you see.

Kanban board preferences

• Use compact mode: the tasks are closer together, so you see more at once.
• Share my Kanban board with everyone: your colleagues see your tasks. Read more: The Kanban board
