Adding or Editing a Display Configuration

This topic describes adding or editing a display configuration on the Add or Edit page.

Overview

The display configuration controls how the system displays policy information to a user. 

You create or edit a list of display settings as a configuration. You can set up multiple configurations, and then organize the configurations into sets that can be assigned to groups. You can add the same configuration to more than one set. You would typically create a configuration that matches a policy list (refer to Adding or Editing a Travel Policy for details). For example, if you have a different policy for VIPs than everyone else, and you have two groups of VIPs (US and Canada), you would assign the VIP configuration set to both groups.

Tip: For a description of groups, see Groups Tab for Managing Groups.
