Use two TALISK_HQ accounts at once in the desktop app

If you run more than one business, each on its own TALISK_HQ login, the desktop app can keep both signed in at the same time, each in its own window. Both stay loaded, so moving between them is just switching windows. Nothing reloads.

Opening a window for another account

On a Mac, choose File › New Window for Another Account, or press Cmd+Shift+N. On Windows, right-click the TALISK_HQ icon in the system tray and choose New Window for Another Account.

The new window opens on the sign-in screen. Sign in with the other account. From then on that window stays signed in to it, and the first window stays signed in to yours.

Your windows are remembered. Quit the app and reopen it and every account window comes back, still signed in.

Switching between them

Each account is a normal window, so anything that switches windows works:

• Cmd+` steps between the app's windows on a Mac.
• Make each window full screen and it gets its own space, so a three-finger swipe moves between the two businesses.
• Mission Control shows both side by side.
• On Windows, use Alt+Tab or the taskbar.

Menu commands, the keyboard shortcuts and email links from other apps always go to the window you were last using.

What each window keeps to itself

Each window is completely separate: its own sign-in, books, mail, settings and watched folder. Signing out in one window does not sign out the other. A mailbox or bank you connect in one window is connected to that window's account only.

The red count on the TALISK_HQ icon in the Dock adds up the unread mail of every open account.

Removing an account window

Go to the window you want to remove, then choose File › Remove This Account Window… (on Windows, the same item in the tray menu). This signs that window out on this computer and closes it for good. Nothing in the account itself is changed or deleted, and you can open a new window and sign in again at any time.

The app's first window cannot be removed. To use a different account there, sign out inside it.
