View and manage trade names

A trade name determines the name and document settings you use within the same administration. Use different trade names when you want different names, logos or contact details on documents. You need access to the administration and an active Billnado licence.

Data and search

Column	Meaning
Trade name number	Identifies the trade name entry within your administration.
Name	The commercial name used on documents and in communications.
Archived	Indicates whether the trade name has been removed from active use.
Standard	Identifies the trade name proposed by default.

The search bar searches by number or name. You can sort by those columns. Archived also includes archived trade names. Total shows how many trade names match your selection.

Actions

Action	Effect

Archive	Makes an active trade name inactive. The default trade name cannot be archived.
Delete action	Deletes an archived trade name that is not the default, after double confirmation.
Add trade name	Starts creating a new trade name.

Archive and delete

First make another active trade name the default before archiving the current default. On an archived entry, Unarchive makes the trade name active again.

Important: deletion is permanent and breaks document and work performance links with this trade name. Archive the trade name if you want to keep the entry and links.

If the list is empty, check the search text and archive filter.
