To set up error reporting, in the Error Reporting Email field, type the e-mail address of the administrator who should receive the report of a system error. You can use error reporting to identify workstations that have stopped functioning due to unhandled exceptions. If you use Polaris ExpressCheck and credit card processing, an error report is sent if a credit card refund is not successful when a lost or billed item charge needs to be resolved. Your error reporting settings at the system level are inherited by libraries and branches unless you change the settings at those levels.
Select File > Save to save your changes.
Edit system-level permissions, profiles, parameters, and tables as needed.

Note:
The system property sheet shows summary information about the system, including the number of libraries, branches, accessible remote servers, accessible remote databases available to the branch in the staff client and in PAC, collections, workstations, staff members, and registered patrons. To open the property sheet, right-click the system name in the Administration Explorer and select Properties, or click the Properties icon on the System workform.
