Configuring your General Global Settings

To configure your general settings, click the Settings tab and then the General Global Settings link.

  • Customer Name - The name of your company.  This field will be displayed throughout your system, and on various email notices that are sent.
  • Customer Website - Your website address (if you have one).  If you have a website, enter it here and you can display it in your email templates.
  • Account Subdomain - The subdomain used to access your account.  Subdomains can only contain letters, numbers, and dashes.  For example, if your subdomain is demo, you would type https://demo.viewcases.com to access your system.  You can change your subdomain at any time, as long as it's not taken by another customer.
    • Important: Changing your subdomain will immediately change your access URL, thus making old links (including those including in emails) and bookmarks outdated.  It's usually a good idea to let your staff and clients know before you change this setting.
  • Default Country - The country you primarily operate out of.  This setting simply controls the default values when entering things such as new clients and contacts.
  • Default Language - The default language that your system will use.  This is typically configured when entering a new contact or staff member.
  • Default List Limit - For most lists in the system, such as the case list, or invoice list, we incorporate a paging system to limit the number of results.  You can configure the default number of results to be displayed.  Each user can also customize their own limits on each list.
  • Distance Measurement Unit - Choose the metric you use to measure driving distance (either miles or kilometres.  This unit is used when calculating driving distances between locations.
  • Login Request Expiration Hours - When someone is sent an invitation email or when someone requests a new password, the system generates an email with a special link inside.  This link allows that person to setup or reset their password.  For security purposes, it's usually better to have these links expire after number of hours.  
  • Map Url - Throughout the program, when you see an address, you can click a Get Map link that will load the address in a map (such as google maps).  Normally you shouldn't need to change this, however, if you are an advanced user you may customize this link.  When defining a map URL, it must begin with "https://" (without quotes).
  • System Timezone - The default timezone that you operate out of.  For consistency, all dates and times in your Trackops system operate off of the same timezone.  
  • Work Week Start Day - The day that your work week begins. This setting is primarily used for scheduling and payment slips that utilize overtime.
