The Company functional area is used to configure things that work across multiple functional areas. The purpose of the Company Preference Page is to configure how these features work. From here, users can set defaults, identify which features are used, and how the enabled features perform.

| Fields | Description |
| Preference Name | Identifies the Preference that is being setup. |
| Value | A text box or lookup to set the value of the preference. Preference values are always editable and can be changed at any time, unless otherwise specified. |
| Preferences | Description |
| Data Access | |
| Enable Report Data Access | A Yes/No lookup to identify whether or not the access to reports is limited or wide open for all users. The value defaults to "No" but can be changed at anytime. A value of "Yes" means that reports must be enabled, for each user, on the 'Reports' tab of the Data Access page. Reports that are enabled, for a user, will appear in the print dialog of the pages the reports are assigned to and reports that are not enabled will not appear, preventing a user from running them. A value of "No" means that reports are not not restricted for any user that has rights to the page(s) the report(s) are launched from. If the preference is set to Yes, the tab name on the Data Access Groups displays as "Reports (Disabled)". Even though the tab displays “Reports (Disabled)” you can still configure Report access by users. This allows the system administrator to configure all the rules before turning on the feature. |
| Enable Workflow Data Access | A Yes/No lookup to identify whether or not the access to Sales Order Workflows are limited or wide open for all users. The value defaults to "No" but can be changed at anytime. A value of "Yes" means that only Workflows marked as either ‘Visible’ or ‘Editable’ in the Data Access Groups – Workflow tab will be visible to the user. A value of "No" means that all Workflows will be visible and editable to users and the Data Access Groups – Workflow tab will read “Workflow (Disabled)”. Even though the tab displays “Workflow (Disabled)” you can still configure Workflow access by users. This allows the system administrator to configure all the rules before turning on the feature. |

| Data Warehouse Database | A text box identify the SQL database that stores the NorthScope Data Warehouse files. This defaults to the same SQL database that your NorthScope system is installed into but can be changed to any value that matches an existing database on the same SQL Server.

|
| Email Notifications | |
| Database Mail Profile | A text box to identify the email database profile that will be used for email notifications.

If adding more than one email addresses, each address must be separated with a ";". For example: email1@abc.com; email2@abc.com. Before this feature is enabled, the "Database Mail Profile" preference must also be configured. |
| Integration Settings | |
| Email Address(es) to notify if inbound integration error occurs | A text box to identify the email address or addresses you want notified when integration errors occur. Because the integration typically runs without errors, users may not be checking the 'Company→Integration→Integration Inbound' or 'Company→Integration→Integration Outbound' pages to see if any errors have occurred. This defaults to blank but you can setup one or more email address by separating them with a ";". For example: email1@abc.com; email2@abc.com. Before this feature is enabled, the "Database Mail Profile" preference must also be configured. |
