Site and Server settings
Server Tab
- Client Code is the instance you are connecting to. Normally you will be provided with a client code to use.
- Super User is only used by Developers
- I am a developer checkbox is only used by Developers
- URL is the url the forms will try to connect to and is filled in by the client code
- Configuration is the default account to use
- Production is the production system
- Test is the test system
- A test system may have new features in it so you can run tests of improvements going into the system.
- Some things may not work and new features may not be finished - this is the reason for a test system - so you can check new features or train users.
- The data in test is a copy from live. We refresh this data on a regular basis simply by copying the live database to test.
- Emails from the test system are diverted at the last possible moment to system administrators - this ensures the email system works ok and that your customers/suppliers do not get emails while people are testing
- The only way to get an email from the system directly is to use "Send test to self" from Entering Email Templates
