FedEx Parameter Group

The Order Manager uses hundreds of System Parameters to tailor the program to a merchant's way of doing business.

Each system parameter is associated with a particular parameter group, based on its function. One way of viewing system parameters is to select a specific Parameter Group at the Set System Parameters screen. It is also possible to search for parameters by entering a portion of its name.

While some parameters could logically fall into more than one parameter group when those groups are closely related, such as the Packing or Shipping groups, the program only assigns a parameter to a single group. Be sure to look for other related group names when researching the available parameters for a particular function.

To change a system parameter, go to the Maintenance Menu and double-click Set System Parameters at the bottom of the list of activities, or select the System Parameters link from the Quick Clicks on the Main Menu. For instructions, refer to topic Set System Parameters.

This topic lists the parameters that are part of the FedEx parameter group.
