The functionality of the Scrap
Dragon software can be customized for your particular operation. Before

in which the system can be used. The Scrap Dragon installer will initially
setup most of this for you. If you should need to make changes after
the initial setup, all of these screens can be found in the Back
Office Module; Maintenance Menu; Setup. For more information, see:
