Who is this article for?

Administrators responsible for system configuration.

Administrator role is required.

The system provides several configurable options that allow you to fine-tune each disposal path.

This article goes over them in more detail to help you set up robust workflows.

1. Admin configuration

To configure admin settings:

1. Open Administration.
2. Select Edit Settings.
3. Choose Chemical Inventory.

Here, you can configure the following settings.

1.1. Disposal Approval Confirmation Message

Available options:

• Show - Displays a confirmation message to the approving/rejecting administrator before entering a comment.
• Hide - Removes the confirmation message, leaving only the optional comment box at the Accept/Reject step.
• Customisation - The text of the message can be edited under Disposal Approval Confirmation Text.

1.2. Disposal Approval/Rejection Comments

Available options:

• Show - Adds an optional comment field for the administrator when approving or rejecting a disposal request. This adds an extra step before finalising the action.
