Setting	Description
Default Days to Rectify Defects	Sets the default number of days an assigned Sub Contractor has to resolve the defect. When a new defect is created and assigned a Sub Contractor the Due by Date will automatically be populated with a date in the future that is the current date, plus the specified number of days.
Mark New Defect Entries	Assigns a default Passed value when creating new defects.
Rank Captions	Rank Captions allows the Primary Administrator to specify an alternate name for each of the Project Inspection List levels. This alternate name replaces the default name in all instances. This can revert back to the default name by deleting the assigned ‘Caption’.
Automatic Numbering	Automatic Numbering can be configured for Defects in Project Settings under the Auto Numbering tab. This allows the user to control the format of defect reference numbers.
