Configuration

Configuration is where administrators define the rules, labels, test types, storage structure, and system defaults that shape how Virtual Ops behaves across inventory, production, purchasing, and quality workflows.

System-Wide Impact

Most pages in this section affect shared operational behavior. Review changes carefully before updating live settings because these values can influence purchasing, inventory releases, labels, testing requirements, and downstream production workflows.

Common Configuration Paths

These are some of the most common setup paths administrators follow when onboarding a new process or adjusting an existing workflow.

General Settings Component Structure Testing Rules Storage Setup Operational Review
  1. Set platform defaults

    Review General Settings, Email Templates, and Note Categories for system-wide behavior and communication settings.

  2. Define production and inventory references

    Configure MFG/EXP Types, Sieve Sizes, Special Care, and Order Alerts to support production records and floor visibility.

  3. Confirm operational structure

    Validate warehouse, rack, storage, and purchasing pages before releasing the process to daily users.

Lab Testing Setup

Lab testing configuration is one of the most connected parts of this section because it directly affects receiving, quarantine, release, and finished goods workflows.

What Lives In Configuration?

Reference lists

Lists such as allergens, certifications, note categories, nutrient values, nutrient units, and sub-statuses support consistent data entry throughout the system.

Operational rules

Settings for purchasing, manufacturing and expiration handling, alerts, vendor qualification, and email behavior help enforce shared process rules.

Physical layout

Warehouse, rack, and storage pages define where inventory is received, stored, and released across the facility.
