System Settings are configured during installation to define the domain name, set dashboard defaults, and specify the SMTP email server.

These settings should not be modified after installation, as a loss of service will occur.

Job Data Source / Define A Custom Query

Job information is used to enhance user search capabilities, reporting analytics, and access request workflows.

Sentinel uses a standard query for retrieving job information, but a custom query can be used.

During installation, the first development PeopleSoft environment is selected as the source by default; this should be updated to Production as it contains the most up-to-date information.

Define a Custom Query:

  1. Navigate to Settings - System Settings.

  2. Under the 'Data Source' tab, select a Source Environment.

  3. Check the box for Use Custom Query.

  4. Paste the custom query in the text box.

    • *The custom query must contain all fields, even if they are blank.

  5. Click 'Check Query' to validate the query results.

  6. Once validated, save changes.

General System Settings include company-specific information, such as branding elements and details for reporting.

  • Company Name / Logo - Used for branding purposes and appears on exported reports. *Logo uses an image link that points to an image on a company's website or media page.

  • Time Zone - Used for the scheduling of reports and time-related jobs.

  • Domain - Used for accessing the Sentinel application.

  • Allow only uppercase OPRID - Requires all new User IDs entered on Access Requests to be uppercase.

  • Insights Dashboard - Used for configuring default environments on the Dashboard.

Configure Default Environments:

  1. Navigate to Settings - System Settings.

  2. Under the 'General' tab, scroll to the Insights Dashboard section.

  3. Use the dropdown to select a default environment for each system. (HR, FS, CS)

  4. Used for configuring default environments on the Dashboard.

  5. Save changes.

Mail Settings are used to configure the SMTP email server and set the sender's information for outgoing messages.

Sentinel uses a standard query to retrieve job information to enhance user search capabilities, reporting analytics, and access request workflows.

If the job information does not appear to be correct, a custom query can be used.
