Deviation component Configuration

Boards on Fire’s Deviation Module is designed to help our customers easily register, track, and measure their deviations. The Deviation Module is included in the Pro, Premium, and Enterprise packages.

This guide primarily provides information on how to configure your Deviation Module. For more general information, refer to this article.
