How to Enable and Disable Features of the Dispatch Solution

This topic contains information on the features that can be enabled and disabled in the Dispatch solution. Through the web.config file, you can choose which system features will be available in order to customize the system to meet your needs. Each feature is represented by a key. In general, keys are enabled when their value is "true" and disabled when their value is "false"; however, some keys accept other values.

The web.config file is located in appSettings in the installation folder for the system and is already configured with the installation. Keep in mind that changing the default settings in the file can affect the system and prevent the use of some features. For details, contact your system administrator.

The table below presents details on each key. Note that some texts in the system can be customized, and, therefore, in the description of the keys the names of tabs and windows may not be compatible with the system default, for example.
