In global defect settings, you will go through the following four fields:

**1. Master data**

**2. Registration content**

**3. Responsible for task**

**4. Notifications**

 

#### **Master data**

In master data, you will find the settings that users need to complete before creating a defect, as well as select the projects on which the defect should be displayed.

You can enable the following settings:

1. Require location text.
2. Required "marking on drawing".
3. Allow marking on the map in the app.
4. Associate to projects

 

#### **Registration content**

In this section, you can set the fields that users need to complete when creating a defect, either through the app or on the computer.

You can enable the following settings:

1. Responsible for task
2. Priority of the task 
     - Apply priority colors to floor plan and map markings

 

#### **Responsible for task**

In this section, you can set whether a defect should have a standard responsible user or a responsible profession. You can limit which profession can be selected as the standard responsible.

You can enable the times when the system should send you notifications. For example, if you choose to enable "Creation," you will receive a notification each time a defect is created.
