SS-CMMS - Configuration Screen
Configuration couldn't be any easier.
To get to the configuration page, first click the menu tab "Admin" then click "Configuration". When you register on first login you will automatically be taken to the Configuration Screen. This is to insure you enter your Time Zone. This is the only mandatory entry required.
- Company Name If you put your company name here it will show up in the header on all pages of SS-CMMS.
- Date Format You can select the date format used by SS-CMMS. Choose between UK d-m-y, US m/d/y or Mil dd Mon YYYY. Defaults to UK d-m-y.
- Time Zone is the only mandatory entry. Select the Time Zone for your location fron the drop down menu.
- Set Default Assign To Name This is the name that all new Work Orders and PM's will be automatically assigned to. Use the dropdown list to select individual user or "All". NOTE - You will be able to select a different user when assigning Work Orders.
- Allow Techs to see All Work Orders? With the set to Yes All technicians will see All Work Orders regardless of whom they are assigned to.
- Allow View Only Permissions to see All Work Orders? Normally View Only users can only see their own Work Orders. Setting this to Yes allows them to see All Work Orders.
- Set Complete WO's to Pending This is used if you want an Admin to verify closure of all work orders. Once a tech closes a work order, it will go to the pending que for Admin to review. The Admin can then close or re-open the WO.

- PM Calendar: Use this to set how many months will be shown on your PM calendar. If your calendar takes too long to load, or never loads, try lowering this value.
- Work Order Sorting Preference This area allows you to have your Work Orders sorted by your preference. All Work Orders will be sorted by the First Field first, then the Second field and finally the Third. You can choose ascending or descending as you wish. Sorting is alphabetical or numerical depending on the field. Use the dropdown menu to select sort by preference.
