What Are Configurations?
Configurations are key-value settings that control how specific features behave. Unlike organisation details (which are high-level settings), configurations are granular feature toggles and parameters.
Configuration Categories
Configurations are grouped by the module or domain they affect:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| General | Date display format, default pagination size, session timeout |
| Accounting | Auto-post journal entries, require approval for all journals, default GL posting method |
| Loans | Enable arrears calculation, auto-calculate penalties, maximum loan term |
| Deposits | Enable interest capitalization, dormancy detection period, minimum balance enforcement |
| Security | Password complexity rules, OTP expiry time, maximum login attempts |
| Communication | Enable email notifications, enable SMS notifications, default sender |
Viewing Configurations
The configurations page displays all settings in a tabular format:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Configuration Key | The unique identifier for the setting |
| Value | The current value |
| Description | What the setting controls |
| Category | The module/domain this setting belongs to |
| Data Type | The type of value expected (text, number, boolean, JSON) |
