Branding & Customization

Inventory Pro supports logo branding on printed documents and several layers of UI customization. These capabilities are spread across four distinct surfaces - this page covers each one and when to use it.

Custom Logos

Path: System → Lists → System Lists → System & General tab → Open Custom Logos

The Custom Logos list manages logo image files and logo resolution pointers. There are two kinds of entries:

  • System pointer records (negative Record IDs) - these tell the system to look up the logo from a related record (customer, supplier, warehouse, or order header). Do not delete or rename records with Record ID ≤ 0.
  • Uploadable logo records (positive Record IDs, e.g., “Generic Logo”) - these hold actual image files and are the ones you configure for your organization.

The default system logo pointers are:

NameMeaning
Do not print logoSuppresses logo output on a document
Use logo defined in Customer’s recordPulls logo from the associated customer
Use logo defined in Supplier’s recordPulls logo from the associated supplier
Use logo defined in WarehousePulls logo from the associated warehouse
Use logo defined in Order HeaderPulls logo from the order itself
  1. Open the Custom Logos list and click the edit (pencil) icon on the logo entry you want to update (e.g., “Generic Logo”).
  2. In the Picture field, click the Upload link.
  3. Select a JPG file from your computer.
  4. After upload, the filename appears next to the View link. Click View to confirm it displays correctly.
  5. Click Save.

Logo Assignments

Path: System → Configuration → Admin Options → Logos module

The Logos module in Admin Options is where you assign which logo source to use for each document type. For each document, choose a logo source from the dropdown - the options vary by what context is available for that document type.

Document TypeContext-specific options available
Purchase OrderOrder Header, Warehouse, Supplier’s record, Do not print logo, Generic Logo
Generic ReportsDo not print logo, Generic Logo
SO - Packing SlipOrder Header, Warehouse, Customer’s record, Do not print logo, Generic Logo
SO - InvoiceOrder Header, Warehouse, Customer’s record, Do not print logo, Generic Logo
Work OrderDo not print logo, Generic Logo
AppointmentsSupplier’s record, Do not print logo, Generic Logo
Repair OrderWarehouse, Customer’s record, Do not print logo, Generic Logo
Bill of LadingOrder Header, Warehouse, Customer’s record, Do not print logo, Generic Logo

Select the appropriate source for each document type, then click Save. The change applies to all future document prints.


Customize Menus

Path: System → Configuration → Customize Menus

Customize Menus lets administrators control which items appear in each navigation section. This is a global setting - it affects all users. Group permissions still determine what each user can actually access.

How to use it:

  1. Select a Menu Type from the dropdown (e.g., Inventory, Purchasing, Shipping).
  2. Move items between the Available and Displayed listboxes using the >>> and <<< buttons.
  3. Use the Up / Down buttons to reorder displayed items.
  4. Click Save.

Changes do not take effect until users log in again.


Customize (Screen Fields)

Path: System → Configuration → Customize

The Customize page controls field labels, visibility, and behavior on individual data entry screens. It supports multiple Screen Sets (Base, Alternate, Default), enabling different field configurations per context.

Warning: Changes made on this page are irreversible. Review carefully before saving.

Field table columns on the Customize page:

ColumnControls
Field NameInternal field identifier
Field LabelUser-visible label on screen
DefaultDefault value
Field TypeInput type (text, date, select, etc.)
VisibleWhether the field appears on screen
AddVisible when adding a new record
ModifyVisible when editing an existing record
Req.Whether the field is required
GridWhether the field appears in grid/list views
MobileWhether the field appears in the mobile app

Select a table or screen from the dropdown to load its fields, make changes, and click Save. Use the Copy To option to copy a screen set configuration to another set.
