What Are Account Settings?
Account Settings in the manyfastscan app controls behaviors and preferences across your entire team. These settings apply to all users on your account and are only visible to users with Admin-level access.
From adjusting data behavior to managing pricing multipliers and enabling hidden features, these settings define how the system handles item scanning, pricing, and visibility.

All settings configured here are applied to all users on the account. Only Account Admins will see this as an option.
The Account Settings page is divided into separate tabs. The definition of each field is in the below table
| Tab | Field | Description | Usage |
| Generic | Force Fresh Data on Manifest Item Addition | When this option is enabled, the app will fetch the latest product details, title, and description from the manyfastscan database. | This feature is useful when you want new information on a product pulled, instead of data previously used within the account. If a user changes the title of an item to "Broken Item" the next time that specific barcode is scanned, the data from the system will be returned with the title of the item being "Broken Item". When Fresh Data is enabled, the data will be pulled from the manyfastscan database and not include any previous modifications to title, description, price etc. |
| Show Dashboard to Admins Only | Restricts dashboard access to admin-level users. | ||
| Premium Price Multiplier | Allows you to adjust the pricing of items by applying a multiplier to the Discounted Sale Price. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that wish to add a convenience fee for credit card purchases for in-store retail use cases. Example | Retail Price = $200, Discounted Sale Price = $100, with a 3% premium, the Premium Price would be $103 | |
| Discount Price Multiplier | When enabled, this feature will set a discount off retail price for every item. Example | Discount BinStore ABC wants every item to be 40% off retail. Set the multiplier to .60 | |
| Default Auction Starting Price | Default Auction Starting Price to be used when creating a new Manifest Item | ||
| Default Auction Reserve Price | Default Auction Reserve Price to be used when creating a new Manifest Item | ||
| Retail Price Convert To Currency | The currency to which the Retail Price will be converted to | ||
| Item Addition Mode | Choose between Add Quantity (increment existing item) or Force New Lot (always create a new line item). | ||
| Allow Numbers in Manifest Item Section Names | Controls whether numerical characters are allowed in section labels. | ||
| Manifest Item Section Character Limit | Set the max number of characters allowed in section labels (e.g., 2). | ||
| Manifest Item Section Case Option | Set the section to Uppercase, or Lowercase | ||
| Sort Bucket Listing Workflow | Choose between Do Not Wait (faster listing) or Wait (pause for MFS engine processing). | ||
Title Shortening | Title Shortening Enabled | Summarizes and shortens titles to a specified character limit to match the requirements of whichever auction/ecommerce platform you are using. | Example: Hibid has a 50 character title limit. eBay is limited to 80 characters. AuctionWorx is limited to 80 characters. |
| Title Shortening Max Length | The maximum number of characters to be present in the title when Title Shortening is enabled | ||
| Hidden Manifests, Manifest Groups & Vendors | Show Hidden Manifests | Toggle visibility of individual hidden manifests. | |
| Show Hidden Manifest Groups | Allows Account Admins to control the default visibility of manifest groups that have been marked as hidden. When this toggle is enabled, these hidden manifest groups become visible in the list, allowing users to view or manage them as needed. Users will have the option to toggle show/hide functionality manually for their personal settings on their Manifest Group page. | This feature is particularly useful for users who need to reference or restore previously hidden manifest groups without permanently deleting them. This also allows Account Admins to force users to focus only on active Manifest Groups | |
| Show Hidden Vendors | Display or hide previously hidden vendor entries. | ||
| Show Hidden Uploaded Manifests | Controls display of uploaded manifests that are hidden. | ||
| Show Hidden Departments & Categories | Toggle the display of archived departments or categories in drop-down lists. |
