Setting Up a New Account: Your Details and Choosing the Business Field
After creating your account, the system asks you to complete two steps before starting: some simple details about you and your company, then choosing the business field. This guide explains each step, what happens when you choose the field, and how to choose the field suited to your business.
⚠
Warning: Choosing the business field is final and cannot be changed from the account afterwards, so take a minute and read this guide before clicking Yes, Continue. As for the apps themselves, you can enable or disable them at any time later.
Step One: Your Details and Your Company’s Details
The first screen that appears is titled Your account is ready, customize it now, and it has:
- First Name and Last Name.
- Job Title: choose your actual job in the company.
- Company Size: the approximate number of employees.
- If you need to change the country, currency, language, or time zone, click Change Language and Region Settings.
- Click Next, then enter the address, the city, the tax number or the commercial registration (optional), and the logo, and click Continue.
🛈
Note: Choosing the job title and company size enables some apps automatically: if you chose Accounts Officer, general accounting and expenses are enabled, and if you chose HR Officer or the number of employees is 6 or more, the employees, attendance, and payroll apps are enabled. Don’t worry if you don’t need them; you can turn them off later.
Step Two: Choosing the Business Field
The Business Field screen appears, and it has more than one way to reach your field:
- Type your activity in the Search for your business field box, such as: pharmacy, clinic, maintenance, clothing.
- Or choose the sector and then the field from inside it.
- Or click View All Fields to see the full list.
- When you choose the field, the message You have chosen …, do you want to continue? appears; click Yes, Continue if you are sure, or No, Change Business Field to go back.
- Wait a moment until the account is prepared, then you will enter the dashboard.
What Happens When You Choose the Field?
The system has a ready-made account for each field, and when you choose, this ready-made setup is copied to your account, and it includes:
- The apps suited to the field (such as inventory and point of sale for shops, or appointments for clinics).
- A chart of accounts and settings suited to the business.
- Invoice designs and print templates.
- Ready-made roles and permissions for employees.
- Some sample data that helps you understand how to work.
- Your country’s default tax, and the e-invoice suited to your country (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, or the UAE) if it is part of the field’s setup.
🛈
Note: Some additional features appear only for certain fields, such as medical prescriptions, which appear for clinics and dental clinics.
Available Fields
The list differs slightly according to your country and the account language, but these are the most important fields divided by sector:
| Sector | Examples of Fields |
|---|---|
| Retail Shops | Shops and stores, e-commerce, trading and supply establishments, clothing shops, mobile phone shops, computer shops, gold shops, optical shops, perfume shops, auto spare parts, hardware and paints, ceramics, bookstores, import and export offices, water filter companies |
| Medical Care | Pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, clinics and medical centers, dental clinics, pediatric clinics, obstetrics and gynecology clinics, medical laboratories |
| Automotive | Car maintenance centers, car dealerships, car rental and limousine and auto spare parts |
| Contracting and Real Estate | Real estate investment companies, contracting companies |
| Offices and Business Services | Accounting offices, law offices, consulting offices, translation, marketing, printing and advertising, hosting and website development, recruitment offices, cleaning and ironing |
| Education | Educational centers, schools and nurseries |
| Tourism and Hospitality | Travel and tourism, transportation and trips, hotel management |
| Beauty and Fitness | Beauty centers and hair salons, gym management and fitness centers and health clubs |
How Do You Choose the Right Field?
- Choose the field closest to your main source of income, not to all the activities you do. For example, a mobile phone shop that offers simple maintenance chooses Mobile Phone Shops.
- If your business is general trade and you didn’t find your field by name, choose Shops and Stores or Trading and Supply Establishments.
- If your business is service-based (you don’t sell products with stock), choose the closest service field, such as Consulting Offices.
- For clinics and medical centers, choose the suitable medical field, because some medical apps appear only for it.
- If there is no close field, click Skip and Set Up the System Manually.
When Should I Choose “Skip and Set Up the System Manually”?
Choose it if your business isn’t in the list, or if you prefer to start with an empty account and enable the apps yourself. You will be taken to the Apps Manager to choose what you need. In this case, no settings or sample data are copied, and a field cannot be chosen later after you start working on the account.

It cannot be changed from inside the account. You can adjust the apps from the Apps Manager, and if the account is new and you haven’t started working on it yet, contact support to help you.
Does the field determine the apps available to me?
The field enables a group of apps at the start only, and afterwards you can enable any available app from the Apps Manager. Highly specialized apps (such as prescriptions) appear only for the fields related to them.

Choose the biggest activity, then enable the rest of the apps you need from the Apps Manager.
