There are 3 primary default option groups accessible from the program menu bar. These options will only be enabled from the <Home> tab. The options will be disabled once any editing occurs.

#1 - General Defaults
The general settings used in both import and export functions - see Setting General Defaults
#2 - SMTP Mail Defaults
CDP has its own built mail client for sending emails and is not dependant on having Outlook installed on a system. The CDM internal email function is used for one of the following reasons:
| a) | Sending manual Activation request if CDP cannot access the ContactGenie server for automatic activation |
| b) | Sending manual DeActivation notification if CDP cannot access the ContactGenie server for automatic deactivation. |
| c) | Automatic problem report submission in the event an unexpected error is encountered. |
| d) | Sending CommandLine processing notices (where applicable) |

#3 - Set Exch Server
Primarily used to change the existing Exch server information being used by CDP. If CDP is run on a system where Outlook is not installed, you will be requested to provide initial Exchange server information. Either Outlook must be installed (with valid profiles) or a connection must be made to an Exchange server. If one of these options does not exist, CDP will not run.
