The Character sets dialog

To access this dialog:

Use the below settings when creating or editing a character set or deleting a character set.

Warning

When you edit a character set, your change is valid for all invoices interpreted according to that character set. This can negatively affect INVOICES' ability to find and interpret fields on the invoice. This is especially true if characters you delete are used by the country profile that the invoice profile is based upon. Deleting characters from the character set is not recommended.

To restrict the possible characters for one particular field, do this in the format specification for the field.

If you import an invoice profile that uses an edited character set from another installation of the program, copy the edited character set to the Ehcharset.ini file of the installation you are importing to.
