System Configuration

The System Configuration tab allows the administrator the ability to view and edit a single System Configuration record, such as the Enable Contact Gender record under the Global Contacts Configuration Group shown below.

 

System Configuration variables impact all projects throughout the system. Some variables are only available at the System level, for example, Global Contacts.

 

To change the system default, place a check in the Override box and either select an override value, as in the example below, or enter a value for those options that allow it. If this variable is not visible, it may be dependent on another variable. You can check the dependencies on the Dependencies tab. A list of dependent variables can be found in this PDF document.
