1. Plant Name: The User must denote a Name for their Plant of Operations. If you ever wish to change the Name of the Plant, you can do so through this menu.
2. Applicable Sectors: Select the Sectors that your Plant operates in. More than one Sector can be selected.
Image: Plant Settings - Date/Time Settings
1. Date Format: Change the Date Format to your preference. This will impact how the dates are presented throughout the software. There are 13 options you can select from using the dropdown.
2. Time Zone: Set the correct Time Zone for your location. This will impact how timestamps are presented throughout the software.
1. Show 'Display Document Info' Field: To modify the Document page in Master Data and enable the visibility of the 'Display Document Info' boxes within the Document Page, tick on the 'Show 'Display Document Info' Field'. This will add blank 'Display Document Info' boxes into each Document previously uploaded to your site, as well as to all newly added Documents. It will also allow you access to the 'Display Document Info' options (explained below) to set the default options for all newly added PDF Documents going forward.
Note: This simply adds the 'Display Document Info' boxes to your Document page as blank fields. To set up default options that will be automatically enabled for all newly added Documents, you must complete and activate the 'Display Document Info' section below. Setting a default option in the Plant Settings page, will save you time, so you don't have to tick on the individual fields in each newly added PDF Document.

2. Display Document Info - On Printed Document: To set a default option of the Header and Footer to appear on the Document when printed, tick on the 'On Printed Document' option. For all newly added Documents going forward, the 'On Printed Document' option will be enabled in the Document page.
3. Display Document Info - On Downloaded Document: To set a default option of the Header and Footer to appear on the Document when downloaded using the 'Actions>Download' button or when clicking on the Document name in Blue Text, tick on the 'On Downloaded Document' option. For all newly added Documents going forward, the 'On Downloaded Document' option will be enabled in the Document page.
Note: This default option will only be seen for newly added Documents. Any Documents uploaded to your site previously will not contain this default option. To set the 'Display Document Info' for previously added Documents, you can manually edit each PDF Document individually.
Note: If you wish to enable the default 'Display Document Info' options within previously added Documents, and you have too many PDF Documents to edit manually, please send a ticket to the Support Team (via the 'Help' button, or directly to 'support@safefood360.com') to request this update to be made behind the scenes.

As noted above, once you have enabled the 'Show 'Display Document Info' Field' in the Plant Settings, you will then see the blank 'Display Document Info' section within each Document page. If you have selected default options within the 'Display Document Info' section of the Plant Settings, you will see these default options populate within any newly added Documents. If you have not selected any default options within the 'Display Document Info' section of the Plant Settings, you will need to manually tick each 'Display Document Info' option for each newly added Document.
Remember: All Document pages will have the 'Display Document Info' section if the 'Show 'Display Document Info' Field' has been enabled in the Plant Settings. However, this feature only applies to PDF Documents and will not apply to other types of Documents, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.

1. Full technical compliance: Click the ‘Full technical compliance’ button to enable this feature. Only enable this option if you are operating in a facility that is FDA regulated and you understand the implications this will have on your usage of the application. Having enabled this feature, the system will request a password to be entered after each stage of a workflow of a Programme or a Record is completed. This may be time-consuming in the case if Records are very long, or if large amounts of Production related Records need to be completed.

1. Create PDF archive of modified records in the Audit Log: If you do not need to adhere to FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations but would like greater accountability in the software, selecting this option will allow that. It ensures that any changes made to Programmes or Records will be visible in the Audit Log through a PDF copy of the original without having the need to add a password each time.
2. Use Diagram Tool V2: Version 2 of the Diagram Tool will be automatically selected for you. The Diagram Tool is used throughout the system in different Modules, such as Food Safety Plan, Pest Control, Traceability, etc., for drawing Flow Diagrams, Maps and Processes.
