FieldView

Configure Application Settings

The Application Settings page includes global FieldView parameters that control the way the application works for all users, including the available software features and the way certain functions operate in conjunction with your main FAST ERP. Although each configuration setting includes a description, we recommend that you discuss your implementation choices with your FAST Professional Services Representative so that your implementation is best tailored to the way your company does business.

To edit configuration settings:

From the Application Settings page, scroll to locate the configuration value for editing.
Double-click the Value column on the applicable setting to open the field for editing.
Type new values as needed, using commas as separators for multiple values where needed
Click Save Changes [at the bottom of the page] to store new application setting.

For additional information on implementing FieldView and which application setting choices will best support the way your organization does business, please phone your FAST Professional Services Representative.
