The System Settings form is used to maintain default values that apply globally to all users of the application. The setting types include date pattern values, time zone values, dictionary values, etc. If you create a new user on the Employee form, the system setting values will automatically be assigned to the user. However, a setting value can also be assigned to a group of users via the Employee Group Setting form and/or to an individual user via the Employee Setting form. The Person Group Setting and Employee Setting values override System Setting values. For details about the order of precedence, see Settings Precedence.
The system includes default values for all the settings listed on the System Settings form. If you modify or add any new settings, you must log out of the application and log back in before you see the changes. You do not need to restart the application server.
