Sharing company details

Once you have set up your company details in Shine Forms, you can export them to a file. This includes your company name, company logo, association logo, engineers, and instruments.

You can use these files to help colleagues set up their company details easily.

If you issue certificates for more than one company, you can save each set of company details to separate files and switch between them as needed.

Company files from older versions

Company files exported from older versions of Shine Forms can contain stretched logos. If your logos look stretched after importing a file, choose them again from the original image files, as described in fitting your logo. Then export your company details again, so that the file you share has the corrected logos.

Easily update logos and signatures

Double-click on the company logo, association logo, or engineer signature to quickly select a new image.

To import your company details from a file:

  1. Click File > Import/Export on the Home Screen.
  2. Select Import Company Details.

You can also import company details by dragging the company files onto the Company and Instruments area of the Home Screen, as shown below.

  2. Click Shine Forms Online… and sign in with your Shine Forms account.
  3. On the Download tab, tick Company details and logos and Test instruments, then click Download.

Engineers are not downloaded

Engineers, their signatures and their default instruments stay as they are in Shine Forms. To copy those to another computer, use Export Company Details and Import Company Details above.
