Settings → General holds the everyday app-wide options that don’t fit under a specific feature — language and appearance, sensible defaults for new bills and customers, your business profile, and information about the app itself.

​
Understanding the fields

  • Language — changes the app’s display language anytime. See Language & display settings for the full list of supported languages and how to switch.
  • Theme (System / Light / Dark) — switches the app’s appearance. System follows your device’s own light/dark setting automatically.
  • Date format — a dropdown of date patterns, with a live preview showing “Today reads as …” using your current selection. This isn’t just cosmetic: it also affects how BillBasket reads numeric batch labels off scanned products — a label like 03/04 is read differently depending on whether your format is day-first or month-first. Pick the format that matches how your own batch numbers are written, and note it applies app-wide, not per-screen.
  • Default credit limit — the most a customer can owe you on account before BillBasket blocks a further credit (unpaid) sale to them. This value only sets the default applied automatically to newly added customers — you can still raise, lower, or clear the limit on any individual customer afterward. Leave it blank or 0 for no default limit.
  • Performance Log (toggle) — for troubleshooting only; when on, it records slow database queries and any that wait on a lock, useful if BillBasket (or your support contact) needs to investigate slowness with several devices billing at once. A View log button appears once it’s been recording. It adds no overhead when off, so leave it off for normal day-to-day use unless asked to turn it on.
  • Business Profile — manage your business’s name, address, contact details, and tax ID shown on invoices. See Managing your store profile for the full walkthrough.
  • About BillBasket — shows the app version you’re currently running, lets you check for updates, and lists open-source licenses used inside BillBasket. Check this first if you’re reporting a problem — support will usually ask for your version number.

See it on your device

The Settings screen’s nested menu — General, Catalog, Documents, Hardware, Data, Connectivity, Add-ons, Notifications, System, and Intelligence sections all live in this same left-hand list. Here, Language is open, showing the full list of supported display languages with English selected.

1

Set the date format

Rajesh Sharma writes his batch numbers day-first, so he opens Settings → General → Defaults and sets the date format to match, checking the “Today reads as” preview to make sure batch labels get read correctly.
2

Set a default credit limit

Many of his regular customers buy on credit, so he sets a default customer credit limit of ₹2,000 in the same Defaults section — new customers now start with that limit automatically.
3

Check the app version

Before calling support about a sync question, Rajesh opens Settings → General → About BillBasket to note down his current app version.
