Manage Opt-In Features
The Manage Opt-In Features application is available to Costpoint Cloud Customers only. Use this application to enable and disable Opt-In features during a specific timeframe.
As an administrator, use the new Opt-In capability to enable designated new features for your Costpoint users. Opt-In features are optional during a specific timeframe. In a future Costpoint release, the features will be enabled automatically for all users.
The Opt-In capability supports testing by users in your company. When you enable an Opt-In feature in a sandbox database, you give your users the opportunity to experience how that feature will potentially impact their workflow, data, and application use. You control the timing of this testing, which can take place before you enable the feature in a production database and before the feature is automatically enabled for all users in a release.
During the opt-in timeframe, you can also disable most Opt-In features if necessary. Once the opt-in timeframe is complete, the features are automatically enabled in the subsequent Costpoint release. While some Opt-In features may have additional settings or security to enable, most will become standard in the product.
