Admin Options

Admin Options is the central place to configure system-wide behavior that applies to all users. Changes here affect everyone immediately — a confirmation dialog appears before any save completes.

ActionPath
Open Admin OptionsSystem → Configuration → Admin Options

How It Works

Use the Module dropdown to select a configuration category. The page loads that module’s options; use the Search box to filter rows by keyword within the current module. Changing the Module resets the view.

When ready, click Save at the top or bottom of the page. A dialog titled “Save Admin Options” appears: “Changes on this screen apply to all system users. Confirm Changes?” Click OK to confirm or Cancel to abort.

System Settings

System Settings contains general behavior controls and a set of checkbox toggles.

Numbers

The Numbers module controls the format and next value for every auto-numbered document type. Each row shows three columns: Format (the mask), Example (a live preview), and Next Value (the spinbutton for the next number to assign).

Format mask syntax:

  • # = one digit (number of # characters sets digit width, e.g. PO-#####PO-00042)
  • Date tokens: YY = 2-digit year, YYYY = 4-digit year, MM = 2-digit month, DD = 2-digit day
  • Set Next Value to -1 to disable auto-numbering for that document type

Configurable number sequences:
