Overview

The Tempus support team will guide you to this article, after we have granted adequate permissions for you to access the advanced configuration of your account. As you can see - there’s a lot of potential configurations in Tempus, this is why we ordinarily reserve this level of access to the Tempus support team only. Please only make changes as instructed in this guide.
