Configuring your System
You can configure vFire Core to accommodate your organization’s needs using options within the System group on the System Administration window, either specifying settings for the system as a whole, or setting values for fields that Analysts complete.
Once your system is configured and tested, vFire Core also enables you to port these settings to another vFire Core system. This helps organizations move from a test environment to a live environment.
To ensure the correct data can be ported through configuration portability, you should avoid specifying duplicate values in administration (such as call priorities).
Select the Menu button , then Admin, and then select System Administration. The System Administration window is displayed . In the Explorer pane, locate the System group , scrolling up or down if necessary. You may need to expand the group to see the options within it.
