Settings > Application Settings

Site Settings are used to configure the system for the current Site Dataset. Some settings may have been configured and locked in the Master Settings screen. These locked settings will appear but be disabled in the Site Settings screen.

Settings are broken up into four groups: Language, Reports, Data Entry, and Variables. Click on the header bar to expand the group of settings.

Language Settings

sset_lang

•

Language

The interface language dictionary used at this site. Language dictionaries can be created and modified on the Multilanguage screen.

Report Settings
sset_rep

•	Report Header

Usually the name of the observation process or team name. This name appears at the top of all reports.

•	Time Format*

Choose between 24-Hour Time (17:45) and 12-Hour Time (5:45pm).

•	Date Format*

Choose between Short Date Format (1/1/2001) and Long Date Format (1-Jan-2001).

•	Decimal Places

Determines the number of decimal places displayed in percentage measurements on reports.

•	Grid Range

* These settings affect only the way that values are displayed and not the manner they may be entered into the system.

Data Entry Settings

sset_de

•	Require Comment

•	Require Weekly Entry

If enabled requires users to input observations the same week they occur enforcing timely entry of data.

Variable Settings

sset_var

•

User-Defined Variables

The remaining settings are for User-Defined Variables (UDVs). User-Defined Variables configured in Master Settings will appear disabled.

To create a UDV follow these steps:

- Click the Enable control to the left of the UDV you wish to enable.

- Enter a name for the UDV, for example "Shift"

- Click the Required control if you want users to always specify a value for this UDV when entering data.

- Change the Sort option to Manual if you wish the UDV items to be sorted in way other than alphabetical.

- The new UDV will appear in the Variables menu. Select it to enter the list of values.

- The UDV will now appear on the Data Entry screen for all checklists.
