Introduction

This document provides general instructions for setting up custom configurations. Optifacts uses many custom configurations for various functions and processes.

Custom Configurations are used to:

Configure Equipment Interfaces.
Enable Special Optifacts Features. Some of the features may have settings or limits as part of the configuration.

This document does not include configurations for specific areas in Optifacts. Any custom configurations required for Accounts Receivable, Frame Management, Tray Track, Machine Interface, or other areas, are explained in the documentation applicable to those features. If you do not find the configuration you need, please refer to our knowledge base documentation to view the complete list of available documents, or contact Optifacts Support for assistance.
