Communications Group System Parameters

The Order Manager includes hundreds of "System Parameters" that can be used to configure the program for the way you want it to work. To change a system parameter, go to the Maintenance Menu and click the "Set System Parameters" button.

 

For ease of use, the system parameters are divided into "Parameter Groups" with related functions.
