Completing setup and preferences
You will now be asked to complete setup and a series of preferences. Follow all the steps carefully, ensuring you read all the information provided.

1. You will be asked whether you would like to import your customers and suppliers from FreeAgent into Commusoft.
   
   Select yes or no and proceed to the next step.
   
   If you do not have a value in the title field Commusoft will automatically place the first one in your list in system settings into this field.
   
   Commusoft are not responsible for the data that is taken from your accounting package. The system will take the data from your package and import it into Commusoft. e.g some accounting packages do not have estate agents, they are shown as companies, therefore they will be imported as such in Commusoft.
   
   
2. Read the information and tick the box to confirm your selection, then click 'Next step'.
   
   
   
   
3. You will be asked what date you would like the import to start from. 
   
   You can select the date you started using Commusoft, or you can select any date, today, past, or future. You can also backdate your accounting integration to the beginning of the current quarter or the beginning of your financial year.
