BQE CORE allows you to specify company-wide settings from the side menu > Settings. To optimize CORE to your business practices and preferences based on size, goals, operations, and policies, you can apply these global defaults on all projects. You can also apply rules at a project level that are applicable to those specific projects only. Some rules are available at both the global and project levels, wherein the project level rules take precedence.
