Defaults & Settings

Choose how new FM Central items should start for your own login while leaving existing saved records unchanged.

  • Set starting privacy and calendar choices for new dates, appointments, tasks, photos, documents, medical entries, journals, groups, and businesses.
  • Choose whether new addresses start as Current.
  • Choose default Parent, Child, and Spouse relationship types/statuses.
  • Keep different defaults for different FM Central users.
  • Use defaults only as starting values—editing an existing record keeps that record’s saved settings.
