Each function has the following settings:

• Record Type – a list of all SmartSimple objects within this instance. This will include; Report (reports you have created in the instance), Organization (company records), Users (system users and contacts), and each Universal Tracking Application™ Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 type that you have created in the instance.
