On the Administration Panel, you have a Configurations option.

See here to learn how to access the Administration Panel.

Once you click on the Configuration option, you will be presented with the following sections:

The configuration section consists of the following subsections:

The general settings apply to all users.

• Use time in task dates: Allows managers to input due time and start time with due date and start date.
  • This options makes for a more detailed time management
  • Tasks appear in the weekly and daily calendar view with the exact time, instead of the standard view at the top of the day.

The mailing settings let you control how Feng Office is sending notification mails. These seetings are global as well. (Don't mix up these mailing seetings with the settings for individual e-mail accounts.)

Options in the mailing settings:

• Microsoft Exchange compatibility mode: If you're using a Microsoft Exchange Server, this should help to prevent some problems.
• Mail transport: Lets you choose the method how mails are beeing sent - by the mailing functions of PHP (requires no further configuration) or by a SMTP server (to be specified below).

In this subsection you can enable or disable each Feng Office module.

PLEASE NOTE: Disabling a module only hides it from the graphical interface. It doesn't remove permissions from users to create or edit content objects.

PLEASE NOTE: Disabling a module will hide any corresponding dashboard widget automatically.
