The System Settings allows network-level system settings to be viewed and modified by DB Precision Users that are specified as being System Administrators.

• Database Servers: area to specify the SQL Server name (including instance name) for the production, backup, test, and remote servers. Only the Production Server name is required (test server and other servers are optional).
• Settings Button: allows for specification of database server PensionSoft user password and SQL native client version.
• Default Folder: allows a System Administrator to specify a default folder for the entire network. Please note however, that this is overridden if a sponsor has its own default folder specified or if a System User has its own default folder.
• Automatic Updates: area to indicate whether DB Precision should automatically download and install system updates once they become available. By using the Maximum Version Allowed field, administrators can control which updates should be automatically installed.
• Show encrypted SSN in Item Explorer: check this box if full SSN should not be displayed on users' machines in Item Explorer.
• Require that Users reset password after first login: option to require that all new users reset their password after first login.

Allows for the specification of default names when System Users create different plan items. Allows for the specification of default file extract type and header names for when System Users run valuation snapshots.

• Network Administrators: area to provide a list of portal administrators who should be electronically notified if there is a potential problem with the Internet Portal.
• Antivirus Software: allows users to choose which version of anti-virus software should be run when checking files that are uploaded by portal users. In addition, users can specify the full path (including executable name) of the virus scan software.
• Portal Name: space to indicate the name of the website used for customers and participants to externally access PensionSoft information via an online portal (https://www.mypensionbenefit.com/ for example).
• Test Button: press this button to test that a connection can be established to the portal using the Portal Name provided on this screen.
• Controller wait adjustment (seconds): portal user activities are processed by Internet Controllers and results are then written out to the web application via API. The process of writing results is assumed to take preset amounts of time that vary by activity type (15 seconds for most processes).
  
  If Internet Controllers are having connectivity issues with the web application however, users will see messages such as "Unable to connect to portal server" on the Internet Controller log. If this happens, you should consider increasing this period beyond the standard 15-second processing wait time by using this adjustment (add another 15 seconds for example here).
• Controller Logs - Show encrypted SSNs in Controller Log: check this box to encrypt SSNs for users that view the Internet Controller log.
• Controller Logs - Output Detail Folder: while most Internet Controller activity detail can be viewed in the Internet Controller log, some additional detail is provided on-screen on the server where the controller is running.
  
  However, if you specify an Output Detail Folder for your network, this additional detail can be accessed from other servers as well as by using the Activity button on the License Administration screen.
• Controller Logs - Output Retention (days): the output detail files can be large and are generally only useful for analyzing recent activity. To have DB Precision remove older files automatically, specify a value here (30 for example to keep the last 30 days of detailed controller activity).

This screen should be used when file names in DB Precision include drive letters. If they are specified, this screen can be used to override the full server name for each drive letter. This generally applies if there are inconsistencies between drive mappings for system users.
