Configuring the system settings

System settings are configurable settings that apply to the entire system. In this section, we will learn how to configure the system settings for Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

All users experience the same system settings, although some system settings can be superseded by a user's personal options. For example, as the system administrator you can configure the minimum time between synchronizations of CRM for Outlook that applies to all users, but a user can choose to specify a greater time than the minimum time that you have set.

The system settings are arranged into ten groups:

  • General

  • Calendar

  • Formats

  • Auditing

  • E-mail

  • Marketing

  • Customization

  • Outlook

  • Reporting

  • Goals

When you export a solution, you can include some of these system settings in your solution. Refer to the Exportable settings section, discussed later in this chapter, for more information on settings that can be exported in a solution.
