The “System Settings” page is essentially a single place from where you can configure the look, feel, branding, experience and preferences for your organization’s instance of the Qliktag Platform.
About System Settings
As a configurable platform offering (depending on the plan you’re on), you will be able to customize elements of your platform instance by giving it a name, adding your logo and branding, selecting a color scheme, selecting the languages you would like the platform to support and also customizing the notification emails your users will receive to personalize the system to your preferences.
Company Name
The “Company Name” field allows you to set your organization’s name and is a mandatory field. The name set here will be used to identify the operator of this “controller environment” and used in multiple places across the platform including system notifications and billing.
Select System Languages
The “Select System Languages” allows you to select languages you would like your instance of the platform to support. You may select one or multiple languages from the dropdown. This setting will allow the users of your platform to view the application user interface in the languages selected as well as add and manage data within the system in the languages selected. The Qliktag Platform is a multilingual platform capable of supporting any language however, it is deployed with limited language options which can be added to. If the language you’re looking to deploy the system in is not available in the dropdown provided, please contact support[at]Qliktag.com
Set Default Language
The “Set Default Language” field allows you to select the default language displayed for your instance of the platform on the “User Login Page”. For example, if the value is set to “French”, a user landing on the Login Page of your instance of the platform will see the page in French. However, once the user signs into the system, they will have the option to switch language to a language of their choice using the “Language Selector” at the top right bar provided it’s one of the supported languages selected in the “Select System Languages” field above.
Audit Trail Preferences
The Qliktag Platform maintains an Audit Trail for changes to “Things” as well as changes to “Visual Interaction Templates”. The Audit Trail tracks information such as which user made the changes, what those changes are, when the changes were made and a copy of the data at the time of publishing the changes so that if required, a previous version can be restored.
Optionally, the Audit trail can maintain a “reason” for why those changes were made to the Thing or Visual Interaction Template by collecting this reason from the user at the point of Publishing. If you would like for the user to enter a reason for editing or changing a “Thing” every time changes are published, change the dropdown titled “Things – Prompt user to enter a reason or note before saving a change” to “Enabled”. If you would like for the user to enter a reason for editing or changing a “Visual Interaction Template” every time changes are published, change the dropdown titled “Visual Interaction Template – Prompt user to enter a reason or note before saving a change” to “Enabled”.
Default Status Preferences
When a new “Thing” is created within the system it is by default, set to the “Active” state which means, it can be accessed via API or via a Visual Interaction. If you would prefer to alter that behavior and have all newly created things set as “Inactive” and manually activate them when required, set the radio option for the preference titled “Things – Set default status for newly created “Things” as Active” to “No”.
Your Company Logo
This option enables you to upload a logo image file which will appear on the main “User Login Page” and within the “Main Menu” at the top left of the application user interface. The logo image should ideally be a square image of at least 600×600 resolution in png format with a transparent background. However, other formats such as jpg, bmp, gif are also supported. All images are resized to a square format before being placed within the application.
