Settings

Overview

The Settings screen allows you to specify company-wide settings and global defaults. To optimize BQE CORE to your company based on its size, business goals, operations, management styles, preferences and policies, you can apply these rules and options. These settings get inherited by the client, project, employee and other profiles, but can be overridden at those levels.

Here, you can set up the global defaults for your company, master information, time and expense entry, billing, accounting, integrations, email, security, CRM, HR, and so on. All the settings and lists are grouped as below for better organization and ease of access.
