The Miscellaneous tab of the System Preferences screen contains various system settings that effect how users view, create, and update data throughout R365. Click here for more information on System Preferences.


Due to the large number of settings available on the Miscellaneous tab, this article breaks the tab down into three major sections. To view the definition for a particular setting, refer to the section that contains that setting.
