Application Settings Terms and Concepts

This section contains information about terms and concepts related to application settings.

Application Setting Configuration 

The configuration section at the top of each application settings page dictates the level at which the settings will be applied.

When adjusting the Configuration settings, the changes can be applied at an overall/enterprise level, or on a more granular basis by Agency, Business Unit, Client Group, or Client.

Note that the system will use the most specific/granular setting. For example, if a new approval level was established for Mr. Fix It Auto Shop, differing from the already established enterprise setting, this new configuration would be applied for the specific application selected. 

EnterpriseApply the settings at an enterprise level, or the highest level entity within the platform. 
AgencyApply the settings to the specific Agency identified in the drop down menu.
Business UnitApply the settings to the specific Business Unit identified in the drop down menu.
Client Group or ClientApply the settings to the specific Client group or Client identified in the drop down menu.

Application Setting Types

There are six types of Application Setting records.

The Application Settings configuration cannot be adjusted for existing application settings. Any edited application settings will apply only to newly created campaigns, and are not retroactively applied to existing campaigns.
