General System Parameters

General system parameters determine how different tools are configured commonly across the RL6 application and for specific modules.

Prerequisite: You must have the "General System Parameters" common role permission to access the General System Parameters page. And you must have the module specific "General System Parameters" role permission to access parameters related to the module.

To access General System Parameters:

  1. Click the Logged in as link and click Admin Center.
  2. Note: Only users who have been assigned the appropriate roles will have access to the Admin Center.
  3. Under the General Settings section, click General System Parameters. The General System Parameters page is displayed. (see Editing General System Parameters for details).
  4. Use the filters provided to search for specific parameters:
    1. Modules - allows you to display only parameters related to a selected module (e.g. Risk) or choose Common to display parameters that affect the application as a whole. By default, All is selected to display all parameters.
    2. Category - allows you to select a specific category (e.g. Application). By default, All categories are displayed.
    3. Search on Caption and Name - enter a keyword to search for all parameters with a caption or name that contains the keyword. Note: The list automatically refreshes based on the filter selections. Note: To clear all the filters and restore the default selections, click Clear Filters.
  5. Scroll the list and use the page navigation options to locate the parameter you want. Tip: By default, parameters are sorted in ascending order by ID number. However, you can click on any heading to sort parameters in ascending or descending alphanumeric order.
  6. (Optional) To see a description of a specific parameter, click on the help tool tip next to the Name. A new browser window will open to display the help page for the parameter. Note: Parameters configured with default values are displayed in plain text while parameters that have been modified to have a different value from the default value show the Caption and Name in bold highlight. For parameters that have been changed, hover the cursor over the value to display the default value in a tooltip.
