System configuration

You configure many areas in the suite from the System configuration module. Key components include the following:

  • Time Zones— Displays the time zones currently available. They are effective-dated and are sorted by their Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset.
  • System Information— Displays the current state of the system. Click each tab to display details.
  • System Settings— Displays system properties and values. Edit all settings here.
  • Security Alerts— Displays the configured security alerts. Security alerts enable you to collect security audit information. You can:
    • Select security actions that you consider most important
    • Specify parameters for audited items to control audit data growth and performance overhead
    • Add a generic notification to the alert to enable appropriate personnel to track possible security issues.
  • Security Audit Data Export— Displays audit information for online review or export to a report.
  • Workflow Notifications— Allows you to notify users about changes in the system and conditions such as database status. For example, you can notify a manager if people have not completed their timecards by a specific time in the pay period.
  • Currency Policy— Enables you to define a list of currencies and the exchange rates used by those currencies, in your organization.
