Configuration Configuring the application consists in configuring record type settings on the Record type settings tab (see Figure 8 – Configuring record type). In CM, the record type is a task to be performed. Record type settings are password protected: to change the settings, you need to enter the application administrator password (see Figure 7 – Restricting configuration changes). This restriction is set up to ensure the SS CQTT stability. Configuration of record type settings should be performed by the administrator. The default administrator password is set to the current month, day and time in the format MMDDHH. Figure 7 – Restricting configuration changes Configuration includes selecting relevant parameters from the lists, populated on basis of the connected schema. If you have not selected a value from a list, the list is marked by the sign , and you cannot save changes or continue working. Every field has a tool tip explaining its purpose. 10
