Settings Precedence

The various setting types in the application can be applied to users in the following ways:

The application includes default values that apply to all users via System Settings. When settings are applied at multiple levels, the settings precedence is as follows:

Setting

Precedence

Employee Setting

Overrides Employee Group Setting and System Settings.

 

Employee Group Setting

Overrides System Settings.

Settings can be applied to Person Groups with type POLICY and FACILITY.

Note that if a Person belongs to both a POLICY_GROUP and a FACILITY and a duplicate setting is assigned to both groups but with different values, the POLICY_GROUP value overrides the FACILITY value. The priority is determined in the person_group_type_criteria table, where the default setting is: POLICY_GROUP = 1, FACILITY = 2.

 

System Settings

Applies to all users by default. If a setting is not assigned to the user via Employee Setting or Employee Group Setting, the System Setting applies.

Note: SYSTEM DEFAULT settings are assigned to System Settings by default.

 

Some settings can also be assigned as Terminal and Terminal Profile settings or configurations:
