About System Parameters

System parameters are options in the Order Manager that enable users to configure the program as needed to work with their business operations. There are system parameters for virtually all areas of the program; most are set in the user interface, not at the Set System Parameters screen. In the Set System Parameters screen, the individual parameters are stored as Groups.

 

Go to the Main Menu>Maintenance Menu>Maintenance tab>Set System Parameters screen and click on a Group in the Parameter Group list box to see the individual parameters in each group. Click on a system parameter in the Parameters in Selected Group list box to read a brief explanation of what the parameter is for in the Parameter Details text box. You must click the Save button each time you change a setting (before clicking on another parameter or exiting the dialog box) or your changes are not saved.
