System Options

The System Options view is located under Setup in the navigation menu and is only accessible to System Administrators. This view allows you to configure various system-wide settings for Fusion Online.

System Options

Feature Selection

  • Assigned User Permissions: Defines the level of access for users assigned to tasks:

    • Update: Assigned users can update tasks.

    • View: Assigned users can view tasks but cannot make updates.

    • None: No automatic permissions are granted based on assignment. Users may still have access via permission records. See Permissions documentation.

  • Manager Permissions: If enabled, managers receive update permissions based on their role:

    • Project managers: Can update their projects.

    • Task managers: Can update tasks they manage.

    • Resource managers: Can update tasks assigned to their managed resources.

    • Users may still have permissions through additional permission records. See Permissions documentation.

  • Display Task Duration as a Range: Determines whether task durations are shown as a range or only as the Focus Duration. This setting defines the default behavior for new projects, which can be overridden at the project level in Project Options. It also applies to non-project tasks.

Desktop Apps

  • Allow Download and Auto-Update: Enables users with a desktop app license to download the Fusion Desktop or Fusion Pipeline installer from the Desktop App page under My Account and from the desktop app itself. Disable this option to restrict user access to updates.

Session Options

  • Idle Session Timeout: Specifies the duration a user session remains active without requiring re-authentication. The session stays active as long as Fusion Online is open in a focused browser tab. If your system uses Fusion Identity authentication, this setting also applies to Fusion Desktop sessions.

Size Limit Options

  • Max Backup Files per Project: Specifies the number of backups to retain for each project. A backup is created before each Schedule Update. Backups can be restored from the Project Details view.

  • Max Project File Size: Limits the maximum size of project files uploaded from Fusion Desktop.

  • Max Attachment File Size: Limits the maximum size of files attached to tasks or projects.

Password Policy Options

  • Max Password Age: Sets the time period after which users must change their passwords. Not applicable to Fusion Identity authentication.

  • Min Password Length: Specifies the minimum length for passwords. Not applicable to Fusion Identity authentication.

  • Require Strong Passwords: If enabled, passwords must meet strong password criteria (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters). The password cannot contain parts of the user’s name or email. Not applicable to Fusion Identity authentication.

Buffer Status Thresholds

  • Red Zone at Project Start: Defines the start point of the red zone on the vertical axis of the Traditional Fever Chart.

  • Yellow Zone at Project Start: Defines the start point of the yellow zone on the vertical axis of the Traditional Fever Chart.

  • Red Zone at Project End: Defines the endpoint of the red zone on the vertical axis of the Traditional Fever Chart.

  • Yellow Zone at Project End: Defines the endpoint of the yellow zone on the vertical axis of the Traditional Fever Chart.

These buffer status thresholds will override any project-specific thresholds that have been set in Fusion Desktop.

Formatting

  • Default Date Format: Sets the default date format for the system. Users can override this setting in their profile.

  • First Day of Week: Specifies the starting day of the workweek, used in work-week date formats and resource graph calculations.

  • Minimum Days in First Week: Determines the minimum number of days required in the first week of the year to count as a full workweek. This setting is used for display of work-week date formats.

  • Default Time Zone: Sets the default time zone for the system. Users can change their time zone in their profile.

Automatic Project Deactivation

  • Deactivate Inactive Projects After: Specifies the period of inactivity after which a project will be automatically deactivated (e.g., "1 month", "2 months", "3 months"). A project is considered inactive if no task or project updates occur within the selected period.

Website Customization

  • Company Name: The company name is displayed on the login page and in email notifications.

  • Support Email: Specifies the email address for support inquiries, shown on the login page and in the Help menu popup.

  • Company Logo: Allows you to upload a company logo, which is displayed on the login page.
