In common settings you configure settings that are used across other
workspaces, such as number series, ID segments, and attributes.
You also
can set input masks or regular expressions to validate input in certain elements in
windows.

Visma Net provides a centralised point for managing activation of the system components.

You can activate specific modules, workspaces, or functionalities of Visma Net in accordance with the purchased license.
If required, you can also cancel the
activation of specific components.
