# What you can set up in Settings

Settings is where your business is configured. The left menu groups pages by the kind of setup they control.

Account has Personal Settings. Company has Business Profile. Team has Users, Roles & Permissions, and Technician App. Asset Groups and Services has Service Visit Types and [Recurring Service Templates](/field-operations/assets/recurring-service-templates-and-template-groups.md).

Work Management has Inventory, Scheduling, Tasks, Job Costing, Time & Pay, and Automations. Automations has separate Automated Outreach and Custom Tasks tabs. The Scheduling page contains Visit Types first, followed by permissioned Features, Visit Reminders, and Calendar Sync tabs. Quotes & Invoices has Quotes, Invoicing, and Items Pricebook; quote and invoice follow-up sequences live on the corresponding page's Follow-ups tab. Customer Experience has Customer Portal, Intake Form, Job Summaries, and Work Acknowledgments. Data & Integrations has Custom Fields, Data Onboarding, and Compliance Engine. Use the search at the top of the Settings menu to find a page by its name, group, or a related term such as billing.

Two settings pages control inspection-report sharing. Settings -> Tasks -> Task Documents -> **Email inspection reports** controls direct PDF email while publishing and from **Send Report** on the open report or its Job task. Settings -> Job Summaries controls **Send Job Summary**, which publishes a recap link that can include the report with other job information. Each can be enabled without the other.

The Compliance Engine page is under Data & Integrations. Users with Compliance Engine setup permission can connect, reconnect, or disconnect the integration there; filing an inspection report has its own permission.

Which pages you see depends on your permissions and, for some modules, whether the feature is enabled for your business. Each page holds its own settings and most show a Save (or Save changes) button only once you've edited something.

Some setup is still handled by Essential rather than Settings. That includes creating asset types and creating or modifying inspection report templates. (Users and roles are self-serve: add and deactivate users and assign roles on the Users page, and create or edit custom roles on the Roles & Permissions page.) For those requests, open the Essential Assistant and choose the Talk to a human tab.

> **Where to find it:** Settings, the left menu grouped into Account, Company, Team, Asset Groups and Services, Work Management, Quotes & Invoices, Customer Experience, and Data & Integrations

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/administration/settings/what-you-can-set-up-in-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
