System Setup

System Setup

System Setup in VisitorRego's Admin Mode serves as the central hub for configuring settings of the VisitorRego application. This menu provides access to a wide range of settings that allow you to customise and manage the software's behaviour and functionality.


Access the System Setup window


System Setup can be accessed from VisitorRego’s Admin mode by selecting Options from the menu bar.

Alert
If the Options menu is password-protected on your VisitorRego unit, you will be prompted to enter the password when attempting to access the System Setup window. After entering the correct password, the System Setup window will open, allowing you to configure the settings. If the password is incorrect, access will be denied.

For instructions on how to set a password for the Options menu, please refer to our knowledge base article: Setting a Password for the Options Menu.


The System Setup window is organised into tabs along the top, allowing you to navigate between different categories of settings. Within each tab, sections can be expanded by clicking the small down arrow beside each heading. This reveals the available options for that section, which can then be adjusted as needed.



Any changes made within the System Setup window are saved automatically. There are no Apply or OK buttons, so once you're finished, you can simply close the window.
