About CMS settings
CMS Settings control how inspection and property information is displayed and managed in the Inspection Manager CMS. These options help your office standardise list views, reduce clutter from older inspections, and improve the notification workflow.
Note: CMS Settings are typically available only to users with the Office Manager role.
