# Configuring the Bulletin Board

One of the system administrator responsibilities is to configure the bulletin board and define bulletin priorities.

You can:

* enable auditing of bulletins, which will track changes to bulletins, recording the date of the change, the name of the analyst who made it and the action undertaken
* enable version control, which instructs the system to track and store versions of objects attached to bulletins when these versions are updated
* define the priorities analysts can assign to bulletins when they create them.
