System Admin Overview

System Administration allows access to set up and maintain system configuration.

Icon Feature Description
Locales Locales are derived from the base operating system and are used to provide basic system information. In particular the language set and text direction are key aspects.
Table Register

The Concept Evolution system is based on a large back end database. There are a wide range of functions that can be altered within the Table register; these include; how the text in the drop down menus are displayed or allowing hazards and documents to be associated. It is also the gateway to define compulsory or unique fields that are linked with each table.

Translation Strings Translation Strings form the many thousands of labels from across the database. These can be altered to fit a business need.
Translation Sets Concept Evolution can be configured to handle multiple languages. These are managed using the Translation Sets.

System Printer To enable Print Redirection, System Printers need to be installed.
Print Redirection Concept Evolution allows automated re-direction and printing of reports and job cards within the system.
Caches Caching is effectively the web server getting a local copy of the core rules and labels and keeping them handy. The driving force for this is that these elements don’t change very often. When they do, the web server’s cached needs to be cleared so it will retrieve an updated list.
Server The creation and configuration of a new servers done by FSI and your database administrator. This list of Servers can be viewed here.
Queries Queries are one of the key tools of data filtering. While Concept Evolution has quick search and column specific filtering on grids; queries allow a User to narrow data in other ways e.g. Show all those tasks that are still active or assigned or all non-urgent calls logged today.
System Information The System Information screen is a read only screen that provides Concept Evolution version information.
