Global Settings

Global Settings lets you define system terminology and system settings that apply to your entire instance of Nexus Scheduler, across all sites and visit types.

Edit Global Settings

The global settings screen is organized into several sections.

Edit Global Settings - Account Manager Settings

  1. The cutoff period for Account Managers to update information in the request form, such as attendees, itinerary activities, etc.
  2. Since incomplete visits hold a room in the center, this setting determines how long a visit can remain incomplete and tie up resources before it is automatically deleted.
  3. Since hold dates tie up resources in the center, this setting determines how many dates a requester can hold simultaneously without completing the request form.
  4. Since hold dates hold a room in the center, this setting determines how long a date can be held and tie up resources before it is automatically deleted.
  5. Allow Account Managers to temporarily hold a date and a room without completing the full request form.
  6. Allow Account Managers access to request meals on the agenda.
  7. Allow Account Managers to search through the presenter database and select presenters for an agenda item.
  8. Allow Account Managers to create a new presenter while setting up the agenda.
  9. Allow Account Managers access to the complete agenda builder so they can choose rooms and times for the agenda items, add meals, select speakers, invite speakers, and more.
  10. Hide the Availability calendar menu item from Account Managers.

Edit Global Settings - Reporting

  1. Control which user access levels can run Nexus Scheduler reports. Options are Briefing Manager or Only Administrators. Note that Administrators have access to reports regardless of this setting.
  2. Reports can group data by calendar year or fiscal year. Select the month that starts your fiscal year.
Edit Global Settings - Confidential

  1. Include a check box in the visit request form to mark a visit as confidential and hide the visit name from calendars, reports, and other areas of Nexus Scheduler .
  2. This is the label that will be shown in calendar and reports instead of the visit name for confidential visits (e.g., Private or Confidential).
