QPR UI System Settings

This page describes all QPR UI system settings stored in QPR UI's database in the CONFIGURATIONENTITY table. Some of the settings can be changed during the installation in the installation wizard, and all settings can be changed after the installation by changing them directly in the database. After these settings are changed in the database, QPR UI's Windows service must be restarted so that the changes take effect.

The Setting name in the following table is defined in the KEY_FIELD column of the CONFIGURATIONENTITY table.
