titleGeneral Config Overview

Supporting notes:

  • DO NOT CHANGE is stated where adjustments to values stored can create instability/data corruption within your Agency Cloud system.  Where stated, these values are very rarely changed by Reapit once setup
  • PROJECT DEPLOYMENT is stated where enabling an option is associated with project delivery.  Normally due to data migration and setup, coordination of a number of tasks to support a successful launch
  • THIRD PARTY INTEGRATIONS.  Are setup and deployed by Reapit Services team - these cannot be undertaken by customers currently (Marketplace will enable this) - and you should request via the Reapit Service Portal
