Settings Explained
Clicking Settings in the left vertical menu displays the Settings screen - the system setup of the Enterprise Shipper (ES) various functions.
The Settings screen has three categories:
Required Settings: Necessary settings to use ES and some of its features. Settings in this category are global, so if more than one ES application is installed in a single location using the same SQL Server instance or data source, the programming or activation of each setting in this category only needs to occur once. It also means that if a user changes a Required Setting, it will change in all installations of ES using the same data source.
Optional Settings: Settings for optional features in the system. Settings in this category are global, so if more than one ES application is installed in a single location using the same SQL Server instance or data source, the programming or activation of each setting in this category only needs to occur once. It also means that if a user changes an Optional Setting, it will change in all installations of ES using the same data source.
Workstation Settings: System feature settings that are specific to that installation of the application. Settings in this category will not carry over to other ES applications installed in the exact location using the same SQL Server instance or data source. Each setting in this category will need to occur on every computer. If a Workstation Setting changes on one application, the change will not carry over to all other installations of ES that use the same data source. We cover workstation settings for printers, scales, and test or production mode in the Enterprise Shipper®(ES)- User Guide.
