This section allows you to configure various System Settings within the entire solution. You can manage these system options by accessing, Administration > System Settings.

Show System Period Pane
Used in Rollover, activating this feature will make the system period pane visible and also allows Authorised users to toggle through the current and next period for the forthcoming business period planning (those with the required security to do so). This setting must be switched on in order to go into the ‘next period’ of the system.
...
Enable System Period Permission Boost
Used in Rollover, activating this will enable access to the ‘next period’ for all Users (without having to go through and give them permissions). This is only used if you need all users in your user list to view and access the next period during the rollover.
Make current system period default
Used in Rollover, this option allows the current period to be the default when the user logs into the system during rollover (when you have both current and next periods are open). This means even if the user logs out of the system within the next period, it will always default to the current period when they login next. If switched off, the system will log into the system period which the user last logged out of.
Executive Comments Tracking
Used in the Executive Reporting module. The Executive Comments Tracking allows the user s to identify if executive comments are entered for executive reports.

Enable Trend data to be displayed in EIS

Ticking the Action Budget makes income figures in EIS display negative values.
The NET will still be calculated as expenditure minus income.
KPI trend to be based on Actual value
This setting would enable the KPI trend arrow to be based on the KPI actual value instead of overall KPI performance.
Business Rules
The direction of the trend arrow will consider the calculation method of a KPI.
...
Above rules will be applied for all KPI types; normal, calculated, trend, or rollup.
When the trend arrow is based on actual, trend KPI should also display a trend arrow (as opposed to when trend arrow is based on performance).
For calculated KPIs, calculated actual value that appears within KPI > Target/ actuals page should be considered.
For upper nodes of rollup KPIs, actuals entered for the lowest nodes would be rolled up and the trend arrow would be based on the rolled up actual values.

Approve Corporate Plan
Relates to security, this option locks down all business plans (all actions and tasks) so that they are not editable by the managers once the corporate plan has been approved. All fields will be locked except for the progress update fields such as status, percentage complete and progress comment. Strategic planners, business planners and Administrators will still be able to edit the plans.
Action Permission Boost
Relates to security, this allows ALL users to create and edit actions within their business unit, regardless of the security level. It is recommended that you tick this checkbox during the business planning period when users may be required to create or edit actions. Typically, this option is used to help speed up the Inherent entry of data, whilst still maintaining a degree of restricted access as stipulated by the application security settings.
For this to work properly make sure your users are linked to staff members who are in turn linked to an organisational grouping such as business unit or directorate.
