How to override a setting at Group or Facility Level

Summary

FLOW allows you to customize most settings at the Facility or Group level, making it easy to apply unique configurations for specific locations or groups of facilities. By default, most settings inherit the Global settings, but overrides enable tailored adjustments for specific needs.

This guide will walk you through the steps to override settings at the Group or Facility level.

Note: Ensure that Facilities and Setting Groups are already created before proceeding.
