&lt;div&gt;This wiki covers questions regarding the VistA software, the various components of that software, and configuration and installation of the same. It incorporates information from many people. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Configuration is the process of changing details about a VistA package. &lt;br /&gt;
These details are fine level controls over the behaviour of the package.&lt;br /&gt;
