Settings — Configuration

Navigate to: Settings > Configuration tab (Admin and Editor roles)

This tab lets you manage the configurable dropdown options used throughout FlowQMS. Instead of hardcoding values, FlowQMS uses configurable categories so you can customize the system to match your organization's terminology.

Manage dropdown options for all modules from a central configuration panel.

How Configuration Works

Each configurable category represents a set of dropdown options used in forms. For example:

Document Category	Document creation form — Category field
NCR Type	Quality Issue form — Type field
Supplier Category	Supplier form — Category field
Equipment Type	Equipment form — Type field
Inspection Type	Inspection Plan form — Type field
Change Type	Change Request form — Type field
Training Category	Course form — Category field
Risk Treatment	Risk form — Treatment field
KPI Unit	KPI Definition form — Unit field
Complaint Source	Complaint form — Source field
Complaint Category	Complaint form — Category field
Review Frequency	Management Review form — Frequency field
Department Type	Department form — Type field

Managing Config Options

1. Select a category from the left panel
2. The right panel shows all options in that category as a table
3. Each option has:

Field	Description
Label	Display text shown to users in dropdowns
Value	Internal value stored in the database
Is Active	Toggle to enable/disable this option
Display Order	Number controlling the order in dropdowns

4. Click "Add Option" to create a new option for the selected category
5. Click on an existing option to edit it
6. Toggle "Is Active" off to hide an option from dropdowns without deleting it
