Tell the system when to perform certain actions according to other actions:
Determine after how many days the system should delete saved recordings automatically (if at all), by using the Delete video recording(s) older than specified hereby option. The system permanently deletes any video files that are older than the specified age in days.
The two options are:
Never delete
Delete after __ day(s)
The automatic deletion schedule does not apply to locked videos.
Make sure to always lock the recordings you want to keep because once a recording is deleted, it cannot be recovered. |
Define the number of days while an Activity counts as a Recent Activity. This value determines which Activity is dispalyed as recent(ly closed) under current Activities on the dashboard.
Also, the Recent activity filter can be applied in Advanced Scheduling and on the Recent Usage Tab of Resources.
Set up after how many days your users should change their passwords. Your users will receive a password change request once the period expires.
Define how many minutes you can schedule new events before and after existing events. Find out more about Scheduling Time Threshold.

QR-codes are automatically generated once an item is created in the Catalog of your Inventory manager. QR codes then can be printed and placed on the physical items when stocking up.
Also, once you make a user a Transaction Assignee, the system automatically generates a printable QR-code for these users so that they can easily identify themselves when picking up or bringing back equipment.
The label size of the QR Codes can be modified under the General tab of the System manager. |
