System settings
This function is used to configure general and BMC Remedy AR System settings.
To modify system settings
- From the Application Administration Console, click the Custom Configuration tab.
From the Application Settings list, choose Foundation> Advanced Options> System Configuration Settings - System Settings, and then click Open. The System Settings form appears.
- To enable the capability to define unique prefixes for records, select Enable User Defined Prefix.
This option is used in a distributed environment in which records are generated by two or more servers and duplicate records might be generated. When you select this option, you also have to define the unique prefix as described in Configuring forms to use DSO unique prefixes. For example, by default incident records are prefixed with INC (INC000000314355). You might want to configure another server to create incident records with a prefix of IMT (IMT000000314355) to avoid duplicate records. - To restrict a user's access to only one company's information, select Single-Tenancy in the Tenancy Mode field, and then select the company to which the user should have access. This restriction is useful, for example, if you have outsourced some IT functions in your organization and want to restrict a third-party vendor to information that belongs to them.
To see the attachment icon on the ticket form, select the Enable Attachment option.
To provide ticket data access to individuals and support groups referenced on a ticket, in the Applications Permission Model field, select Support Group.

Step 5 question. It states, "To see the attachment icon on the ticket form, select the Enable Attachment option." What attachment icon is being referenced here? On all of the primary ITSM forms, the Work Details section shows the first attachment icon that one can add an attachment. I reviewed Developer Studio and found nothing new that can be added. I have not dug into the workflow but just curious as to what attachment icon and on what form is being referenced.
Hello Leonard,
Thanks for your comments.
The attachment icon that is mentioned in Step 5 refers to the attachment icon on the ticket forms. This topic is referring to the AR system settings for configuring ITSM foundation. Yes, this is not something new.
Hope this helps.

Is step 6 for the cloud because if you set up the individuals with company rights or unrestricted access then setting the Applications Permissions Model does not make sense as to which option to use?
Hi Leonard,
The setting is not specific to cloud. Here is the explanation of the options available in the Applications Permission Model field:
