The system uses core records for organisation and people. This section of the system allows you to configure which record types are available and how they are configured. This screen is is split up into two areas:

• Active Records
• Inactive records

For each record type you are able to:

• Rename - Rename the singular and plural name of the record type.
• View/Edit Tabs - Manage which tabs are used, the display order and the ability of renaming the tabs.
• View/Edit Fileds - Allows the specification of whuch fileds are udes and on which tabs they are displayed.
• Minimum Data Set (currently available for Clients/Dependants only) - Allows you to specify rules to be used when fields are forced:
  • On creating a new record for all users.
  • On creating a record based on a users security group.
  • On recording a contact for a new client based on the project.

You can also use the minumum datasets to display an alternate field name to the users.

• View/Edit Links - Used to specify which links are displayed at the base of a record.
• Activate/Deactivate - Allows the record to be activated or deactivated.
