Overview: Creating New Configuration Sections and Options

The settings you can configure on the Options tab control various features, such as logging, font styles and sizes for some applications, security settings such as whether to show agent salary information, whether to use reason codes, and many others. In many cases, the default setting may be the most appropriate for your environment. However, Genesys recommends that you review the available options to determine where customization might benefit your enterprise.

Tip

When the valid values for an option are listed as true or false, you can also enter alternate values to achieve the same result. For example, you can enter the value true as yes or 1, and you can enter the value false as no or 0.
