The System Parameters window controls various system settings. Many of these settings affect the security of the system and critical data items, so it is recommended that a System Administrator maintain these settings.
The Reload All Caches button causes all AgileAssets cache-retained data to be refreshed from the current data in the database. AgileAssets software uses cache for quick access to a copy of AgileAssets-specific GUI configuration information. At times, portions of this cache data get out-of-date relative to updated data contained in the database. This button may be used to bring the cache up-to-date. The Reload All Caches button is made available to authorized users so that cache data updating can occur at any time. This functionality can also can be automatically applied nightly using a System Job.
The following table lists all system parameters and provides a description of each. This is a general list and not all parameters are found in every AgileAssets application.
