System setup and maintenance

The initial configuration is set during the installation of Synergetic at your organisation.

You can maintain system settings as your:

• organisation changes
• use of Synergetic is extended.

Important note: Please Contact Synergetic Management Systems if you are unsure about changing system settings to avoid causing unintended problems.

Because SynWeb and Synergetic share the same databases and many of the same settings, settings changed in Synergetic also apply to SynWeb. Use Synergetic to maintain the system configuration.
