Introduction
This guide is designed to help Administrators to further customize their Field2Base Environment both on the client and server side. Just a few examples of Configs would be:
- Adding otherwise hidden UI elements to the Mobile Forms client
- Controlling the compression rates of pictures for sending larger files
A full list of Configs available to your company can be accessed through the Configs page itself. Follow the directions below to get to the Configs page.
Prerequisites
Before you are able to use the Configs feature, you must have a valid Field2Base user account with Administrative permissions enabled. Please contact your local Field2Base administrator to ensure you have an account with the appropriate permissions.
Accessing the Configs Page
The Configs page is located in the Field2Base Admin Portal.
