To change M2 Settings, go to MAINTENANCE - Settings

Just click on each point to expand.

Invoices

Number start – how the invoice number should start.
Number length – the length in digits AFTER Number Start – e.g. Number Start is not counted into this length. This value is active only for first number type.
Number type – select more appropriate number format. INV000001 means autoincremental number after "Number start" value. INV070601 means "Number start" + date + invoice max id.
Duration format - time format in invoice. Available options - 'H:M:S', 'H:M', 'M'. When option 'M' is used, sub option Decimal places appear, where you can select precision.
Manual Payment Line - changes name of line: Prepaid VoIP Services in the invoice. Available in Manual Payment invoices.

Consider the following before changing settings:

if Number type is changed from INV070601 to INV000001 AND Number start is kept the same, the numbering continues from the last INV070601 format number.
if Number type is changed from INV070601 to INV000001 AND Number start is kept the same AND Number length is set to some lower value than it is sufficient to fit previous INV070601 numbering, then Number length value will be disregarded and lowest sufficient value to continue from last Invoice number will be used.
if Number type is changed from INV070601 to INV000001 AND Number start is kept the same AND Number length is set to some higher value than it is sufficient to fit previous INV070601 numbering, then numbering will continue from the last INV070601 format number and new Number length will be applied, by placing additional zeros between Number start and last number (INV070601 > INV0000070602).

XLSX

XLSX file to export an Invoice is made from your own XLSX format template and information from Invoices main window. Example of template can be downloaded here.

When you already have a template for example with all data of your company, with drawn tables and so on, you need to define where should be shown the dynamic information of invoice. To do that you just need to define cell address in correct format.

Client Address Cell is different than other ones - once you will define this, all other Address Related Cells will be filled automatically and will not be editable. Also, no empty space will be left if any Address sub-cell is not defined. For example, if Client State is not defined in User's Settings, then this Cell will not be empty in Invoice - all Address Cells bellow will go up by one Cell. This allows nice Address formatting without leaving spaces if some Address data is not defined in User's settings.

Comment - refers to Comment available in Invoice Details page. The Invoice needs to be recalculated after adding a comment, so that comment would be applied.

Emails

Port – port of SMTP server.
Login – username to your SMTP server.
Password – password to your SMTP server.
Batch size – value for Mass Mailing, or how many emails to send at once.
From – email address to put into From: field in email. Acceptable formats are: example@email.com or John Smith <example@email.com>.
Test email sending – save settings and press this to test email sending. Do not forget to save settings first!

P.S. Remember to set admin's e-mail in admin's personal settings. Without this test email sending will not work!

Calls Dashboard

In the System Settings several adjustments can be made in order to customize the Calls Dashboard.

Calls Dashboard refresh interval: how often the statistics are updated (a positive integer representing minutes).
ASR: as in the example, when lower than 30%, the cells will be colored red, greater than 50% value will result in the green color. Everything between will be set to yellow (only integers are allowed).
ACD: as in the example, when lower than 60 seconds, the cells will be colored red, greater than 119 seconds value will result in the green color. Everything between will be set to yellow (only integers are allowed).
Margin: as in the example, no coloring will be applied on Margin cells.

Note: partial coloring is also possible. For example when the ASR is set to Red < 30 and Green > is left blank, only red coloring will be present for the ASR cells. More information about M2 Calls Dashboard
