About System Settings
In Max, the System Setting object stores settings that affect system-wide behavior and logic. Max ships with two default System Setting records: Development System Settings and Production System Settings. Both are configured with recommended settings, most of which are identical. By default, in the Development System Settings record, the Active check box is selected. Only one System Setting record can be active at any given time, so when you select this check box in the Production System Settings record, the Development System Settings record is automatically disabled.
When you provision a new tenant, the Development System Settings record is active by default, regardless of whether the tenant is in a sandbox or production environment. You can use either record on either type of tenant. When you export a custom package from a tenant, System Setting records are included, and when you then import that package to another tenant, the System Setting records on the target tenant are overwritten by the records in the package.
 |
Be aware that when you export a custom package from a sandbox tenant and import it to a production tenant, the active System Setting record on the sandbox tenant becomes the active record in your production environment. Therefore, to avoid accidental activation, it is recommended that you use the same active System Setting record on both your sandbox and production tenants.
