Default Account ID - This setting looks at the Account ID field on the Contact record for assignment. If the Account ID is blank upon Contact creation, it will use this setting. If the ID is invalid on either the Account ID field on the Contact or the Default Account ID setting, it will throw an error indicating that the Account ID is invalid upon creation. This setting will override the Recruitment Manager Preferences settings for assigning accounts.

Save Contact Merge Ids - Retains Email History upon Contact Merge.

Save Lead Merge Ids - Retains Email History upon Lead Merge.
