Default Settings

Default Settings are simply an extensible list of values that can be used to control how various aspects of DjangoPBX system operate.

A setting is defined by a Category name and a Sub Category name, the Value field holds the data for the setting. There is also a Type field that describes how we should interpret the Value because all the Values are stored as text in a database.

Actions

The following actions are available on the listing screen:

• Delete selected default settings

  This presents an intermediate screen (shown first below) that allows the selection of the target domain. The purpose of this is to make it easy to create Domain Settings that override Default Settings.

• Export selected default settings

  This presents an intermediate screen (shown second below) that allows the export format to be chosen.
