System Settings

These can be edited in the System Settings form under Configuration on the Permissions menu.

System settings menu

This form lists all the system configuration settings.  NB.  These are important settings for how the application runs and should only be edited with care.  For example, you can set or change your Organisation Name, which appears in the title at the top of the CMSi window.

All settings have a description saying what they do. You can also filter by functional area to help find relevant keys.
