⚙️ Settings — Application

The Application tab (under Settings → Application, formerly called "Server") gathers the workshop's operational parameters: the language and localization (language, time zone, and currency) and the default values BolloPrint uses when creating orders and calculating margins.

Language and localization

This section defines how information is shown to your workshop: in what language, on what schedule, and in what currency.

Interface language

Here you set the workshop's default language. It's initialized with the language you chose when creating the workshop, and you can change it whenever you want from here (Owner/Administrator only).

How it combines with each person's preference:

• Each user can choose their own language from their avatar menu (Language). That personal choice takes precedence for that person.
• The language you set here is the one seen by those who haven't chosen their own (for example, newly invited users).
• When you change the workshop language, it's applied automatically to everyone who follows the default language. Those who had already chosen a personal language are not affected: we respect their choice.

In short: you set the workshop's general language; each person can customize their own and, if they do, theirs prevails.

Time zone

Choose your workshop's time zone. All the dates and times you see in BolloPrint (orders, prints, comments, history…) are shown in this zone.

Internally, BolloPrint always stores dates in universal time (UTC) and translates them to your zone when displaying them, so the change is immediate and doesn't alter any data: it only changes how things look. The time zone is also used to calculate the cutoffs of financial reports (what counts as "this month" or "this year"), so the totals line up with your real working day.

Currency

Choose your workshop's currency: Euro (€), Dollar ($), Pound (£), or Swiss franc (SFr). It's the currency in which all amounts are shown: prices, costs, quotes, finances, etc.

Two important details:

• There is no currency conversion. BolloPrint does not convert amounts using exchange rates. The currency only changes the symbol and the format the numbers are shown in; the amounts you enter are the ones stored.
• The change only affects new records. If you change the currency, the orders, expenses, products, pieces, and inventory that already existed keep the currency they were created with; from then on, new ones use the chosen currency. That's why the usual practice is to set the currency when starting up the workshop and not change it once you have data.

Operational parameters

This section defines the values BolloPrint uses automatically when creating new orders or evaluating margins.

Default delivery days

When you create a new order, BolloPrint calculates the suggested delivery date by adding this number of days to the current day. For example, if you set it to 5, an order created today proposes delivery in 5 business days.

You can change the date manually on each order — this is just the initial value.

Default margin

The margin percentage that is applied automatically when you create a new Variant in the catalog. If your usual margin is 45%, set it here so you don't have to type it every time.

Margin thresholds (traffic light)

BolloPrint colors margins in the finances module and on Variant cards with a visual traffic light:

Color	Condition
🔴 Red	Margin below the low threshold
🟠 Orange	Margin between the low and high thresholds
🟢 Green	Margin equal to or above the high threshold

Adjust the two thresholds according to your cost structure. A common guideline: red threshold at 25% and green threshold at 45%, but every workshop is different.

Default costs

Here you define what your material costs by default, which BolloPrint uses to calculate the cost of pieces when no inventory material is assigned:

• Filament (€/kg) and Resin (€/kg): the reference price per kilo for each family. When a piece doesn't use a material from your inventory, its "Cost KG" starts from here.
• Finish cost (Processed and Painted): what's added to the cost for each type of finish.

Two things to keep in mind:

• They only affect new pieces. Changing these values does not recalculate existing pieces — each piece keeps the cost it was created with. If you want to update an old piece, open it and adjust it (or reassign its material).
• If the piece uses a material from your inventory with a cost, that price takes priority over the default value (we explain this in the Pieces manual).

Subscription and billing

Subscription and billing are no longer managed from here. They now live in "My Account" (on the web), where you can see your plan, the included storage, update your card, download invoices, or change plans. We explain it in the "Subscription and billing" document.
