Manage Tekla PowerFab company information

Administrators are responsible for defining the company information. The company information is used throughout Tekla PowerFab. It is also possible to add multiple companies.

You can manage the information of your company in the Company Information dialog box that is located in the Maintenance ribbon tab.

Add company information

  1. Go to Maintenance > Company Information and click New.
  2. Add a description for the company.

    For example, Main.

  3. Fill in the company name, address, city, state, zip code, phone, and fax according to your needs.
    The company name is mandatory information. All other details are optional.
  4. Click Save.
  5. To add the company logo for reports, click either Top Logo or Bottom Logo.
    1. Click Load From File.
    2. In the Open dialog box, browse to find the logo file, and select it.

      Note that the logo file needs to be a .bmp, .jpg, or .png file. We recommend using the .jpg format because logo files in any other format are converted to .jpg when you add them.

      The maximum height for the logo file is 3 inches, or 76,2 mm, at 96 pixels per inch. A maximum width is not enforced, but we recommend that you use a logo file that is narrower than the standard paper size of your company.

    3. Double-click the logo file, or click Open.
    4. Select if the logo should be aligned left, center, or right.
    5. Confirm if the selected logo contains company information.

    The logo is added for the company.

    Note that if you want to use another logo file instead, you need to click Top Logo or Bottom Logo again, and click Clear in order to delete the current logo file.

  6. Click Save and close the Company Information dialog box.

The company is added to the list.

Note that you can add multiple companies, if necessary. For example, if you want the Shipped From location to be something other than the address of your main company, you need to add another company with that name and address. These can be the name and address of a vendor or a supplier.

You can change which one of the available companies is used in the Report Types dialog box.

Set the default company

If you have added multiple companies, you should set one of the companies as the default company used in reports.

Note that you can only set the default company for the current user.

  1. Go to Maintenance > Company Information and select the company that you want to set as the default company.
  2. At the bottom of the dialog box, click Set Selected As Default.
  3. To confirm using the selected company as the default option, click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

The selected company is set as the default company used in reports.

Note that the default company is shown in the Default field at the bottom of the Company Information dialog box.

You can change which one of the available companies is used in the Report Types dialog box.
