If you have permission, you can view and change some settings for each database.
Click the Phocas menu button > Administration > Databases, then click the database name (blue link) to open the database settings screen for that database.
The database settings are organized into the following tabs. Unavailable databases only have three tabs: Database, Build Logs and Usage.
Database tab
The Databases tab opens by default. You can take the following actions:
Change the Display Name of the database (the name that users see).
Change the database Owners. Use this setting to prevent unwanted changes to a database design, as only an 'owner' can edit a design. Select the user(s) from the dropdown list, which displays all administrators who have permission to access databases.
Change the following settings: Hide Total, Month to Date and Show Net Zero. These settings all relate to the Options menu that users see in the Analytics module. See Get more options for viewing data for information on what each one does.
