Managing AvSight Settings

This article will cover how to enable or disable features in AvSight

Prerequisites:  None

User Level: Intermediate

Because AvSight is intended to be flexible, it has a number of options and features that can be enabled or disabled if desired in order to better suit the needs of a particular company. This article will cover the basics of editing those items to add additional choices. More detailed information regarding individual settings can be found in the KB article that covers the area applicable to the setting.

CAUTION: While not difficult, this process will access areas that will allow fields other than the ones described in this article to be modified.  Modifying these other fields without the direction of AvSight Support may break functionality or lead to unintentional consequences.

To begin, log in to AvSight and select the gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen and select Setup. From the Setup screen choose Custom Code from the left sidebar then Custom Metadata Types.  On the All Custom Metadata Types screen click Manage Records next to AvSight Settings to open the AvSight Settings Screen. Select Edit to open the list of settings
