Set Up the General Options

Set the options that define the device number, default company, and connection settings.

To set up the general options

Choose Options.
Select General.
To associate the Plant application with a device that was set up in JustFood, you must define the device number. To define the device number, perform the following steps:
1. For the Plant Device No. field, choose the Search icon.
2. Select the device that you want to associate with Plant.
  
  The device that is selected determines how the Output and Consumption screens function in Plant.
3. Choose OK.
In the Default Company field, select the company that you want to be the default.

The default company is the company that Plant automatically opens with. If required, Plant users have the ability to change the company.
If required, you can change the options that were set when Plant was first set up. To change the connection settings, perform the following steps:
1. Choose the Connection Settings icon.
2. As required, populate the following fields:
  - Execution Mode: Indicates what environment Plant is to connect to. The default is Live.
    - Live: Indicates that Plant is being run with live data.
    - Test: Indicates that Plant is being run with test data. This mode is to be selected when testing new developments.
    - Training: Indicates that Plant is being run with test data. This mode is to be selected when training employees.
  - WebServer (Live): If Live was selected as the Execution Mode, this is the web server that is to be used.
    
    Change the value to reflect the server and port, for example:
```
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/
```
  - WebServer (Test): If Test was selected as the Execution Mode, this is the web server that is to be used.
    
    Change the value to reflect the server and port, for example:
```
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV_Test/WS/
```
  - WebServer (Training): If Training was selected as the Execution Mode, this is the web server that is to be used.
    
    Change the value to reflect the server, port, and database name, for example:
```
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV_Training/WS/
```
  - Tenant: The Tenant parameter is used to set a tenant name, which allows Plant to connect to multi-tenant environments.
    
    If you are running a multi-tenant environment, change the value to the tenant ID.
    
    If you are not running a multi-tenant environment, leave the value as Default.
  - Credential Type: Indicates whether users can log in to Plant with their JustFood (NAV) or Windows user name and password.
    
    The following list describes the allowable values:
    - NAVUserPassword: Users log in to Plant with their JustFood (NAV) user name and password.
      
      Important: NAVUserPassword is used by Cloud customers, and requires a special Dynamics NAV Server Instance setup. If you are interested in using NAV authentication, you must contact your JustFood representative.
    - AADOAUTH: Users log in to Plant with their O365 user name and password.
      Important: AADOAUTH is used by Cloud customers, and requires a special Dynamics NAV Server Instance setup. If you are interested in using O365 authentication, you must contact your JustFood representative.
      
      The following fields must be populated only when AADOAUTH is selected for the Credential Type field:
      - AADTenantId: Tenant ID, for example:
        industrybuilt.onmicrosoft.com
      - AADClientId: Client ID, for example: 857d3418-e249-4691-b16e-a07c1eccfd0d.
      - AADClientAppUri: Client App URI, for example:
        https://PlantNativeAPP
      - AADServerAppIDUri: Server App ID URI, for example:
        https://industrybuilt.onmicrosoft.com/082a075a-14a5-4db2-a095-e4c45681c2c1
      The JustFood IT team can provide all of these values.
      
      AAD stands for Azure Active Directory.
    - Windows: Users log in to Plant with their Windows user name and password. This is the default, and most typical, configuration.
  - Use Default Credentials: Indicates whether Plant users must log in.
    
    The following list describes the allowable values:
    - Selected: Users are not required to enter their user name and password. The Plant application opens immediately. This setting only works with the Windows credential type.
