# Configuration levels

Every SAM setting can be applied at the [Enterprise, Group or Device level](#understanding-enterprise-group-and-device-levels).

The *Versity Applications Administration Guide* is your central reference for all Spectralink App configuration options. Refer to it for detailed information about each app configuration option available to you through SAM.

## Understanding Enterprise, Group and Device Levels

There are three ways to get to the Applications page and each different way allows you to configure the smartphone at the three different levels: Enterprise, Group, and Device.

### Enterprise settings

Enterprise level settings are available when you browse directly to the Applications page – not going through the Group page or the Device List. The banner displays the Enterprise tab.

The Enterprise level is used to make changes to all approved phones. You would use this level to set application settings that are common to every phone you manage. At the Enterprise level, settings from other levels are not visible. Conversely, when editing settings in the Group or Device levels, settings from the Enterprise level will be visible.

Various icons next to each individual setting indicate the various states in which they can be. The possible icons for the Enterprise level are listed below. Some icons are clickable. Clicking the trash can immediately deletes the setting at the current level. Note that some settings do not support the level icons.

### Group settings

Group level settings are available when you browse to the Group page, select a Group and select Change Config from the menu. The banner displays the Group tab.

Group settings override Enterprise settings. They apply only to the smartphones that have been assigned to that group. Typically, group settings are used for barcode groups, security groups, Push-to-talk, SAFE, Web API and Web Apps. They are also used for Feature deployment such as Barcode Scanner.

A smartphone can belong to more than one Group. If there are conflicting settings, the Group that is listed in the Group table closer to the top of the table has settings priority.

### Device settings

Device level settings are available when you browse to the Device list, select a device or devices and select Change Config from the Select actions menu. The banner displays the Device tab.

![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-8311d1a82929406c9f68b163ff5d0f6ec00f2f38%2Fimage56.png?alt=media)

Some Device settings are best configured through the batch configuration option. See [Batch Configuration](/amie-essentials/using-the-platform/batch-configuration.md#batch-configuration).

Device settings override both Group and Enterprise settings. They apply only to the specific smartphone(s) that has been selected from the Device List. Therefore, only those settings that pertain to specific smartphones should be configured at the device level. Typically, the only settings that are configured at the device level would be SIP extension settings.

Example of using device level settings

If a user’s smartphone is exhibiting a performance problem or unexpected behavior, you can alter the logging settings for that one phone in Device settings, configuring it to log at an Info level with an appropriate filter, while the other smartphones remain at a Warning level.

This gives you a close-up of that one device of concern, without generating the unnecessary syslog traffic that would occur if all devices were logging at the Info level.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.spectralink.net/amie-essentials/using-the-platform/configuration-levels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
