CAC/MDT Setup: Page Tabs and Settings

A guide to the four tabs on the CAC/MDT Setup page: Config Settings, Contact Info, Case Tab Naming and Custom Tab Configuration.

Written by Rhonda Wurgler

The CAC/MDT Setup page controls center-wide settings in TRAK. It's usually available only to your Security Officer or Administrator. Go to Administration > CAC/MDT Setup in the left menu.

The page has four tabs.

Config Settings

This tab holds options that change how TRAK works for everyone at your center. Recent additions include:

  • Inactivity sign-out time. Choose how long TRAK waits with no activity before signing a user out, from 10 to 40 minutes. The change takes effect the next time each user logs in.

  • Automatic LE and Prosecution referral dates. When this is on, the LE and Prosecution referral dates fill in automatically. This happens when a Date First Reported is entered on the Presenting tab (below Reason for Referral) and an Allegation of Abuse is indicated.

Since November 1, 2026, users enter a verification code every time they log in. The inactivity setting helps you balance security with how often staff have to sign in again.

Config Settings also includes options covered in other articles, such as email notifications for sessions and sharing names or data with other CACs and your Chapter.

Contact Info

Your center's addresses and phone numbers, using the Address History and Phone Numbers tables. See Contact Info: Address History and Phone Numbers.

Case Tab Naming

Rename the default case tabs (such as LE, CPS or VA) to match the terms your center uses. The new names appear on case records and in case reports.

Custom Tab Configuration

Build a Custom Tab for your staff by choosing fields from other case tabs and giving the tab a name. The Custom Tab has its own View and Update permissions in Roles. You can give staff access to selected fields without giving them the whole tab those fields come from.
