Presentation
The general parameters of SoftExpert PDM allow you to define essential system behaviors related to item review, editing of approved items, revalidation deadlines, and cost formatting.

Here's how to configure the general parameters below:
Configuring general parameters
1. Access the Configuration > General parameters (IT043) menu.
2. On the General tab, in the Review section, select the desired options:
| To require that criticisms be filled out when rejecting a review. | Select this option so that, when a review returns to the drafting stage, the responsible user must provide feedback to justify the rejection. |
| Require visualization/resolution of criticisms during the drafting process. | The author should view the feedback received when a review returns to the drafting stage. When sending the review back to the next stage, the author should report the implemented solutions. |

| Allow only the responsible team to view the item's cost. | When this option is enabled, only users belonging to the team responsible for the item will be allowed to view the cost values. |
| Allow outdated revisions to be editable. | This option allows items in outdated revisions to be edited. |
| Requiring symbolism in the characteristic | By enabling this option, the system will require the symbols to be filled in when registering or editing an item's characteristic. |
