General settings

The Settings section enables customisation of both the appearance and functionality of your system, according to your requirements and preferences.

Find a setting fast

To quickly locate a setting, press Alt+S and type your search words. In this example we're looking for places where you can set maximum file size limits.

Numerous customisation options abound, and the following represent just a glimpse of the possibilities:

• The identity of your site, including colour schemes and typography
• Items that display on the menu and the terminology used for these
• Password complexity
• The content of email notifications
• Permission levels for roles

The Janison team will make most of the configuration changes in this area when your system is implemented.

In this section

• Custom attributes — define additional data fields, group them into sets, and batch edit their values
• Custom attribute types — reference for every attribute type, with examples of how each displays
• Create custom attributes — step-by-step creation instructions for each type
• Password settings — complexity rules, generation, expiry, reveal and reuse policies
• QuickAdd User — configure the quick user-creation form
• Schedule a job — run reports, imports and other jobs at set times or intervals
• String resources — customise system text, terminology and translations
• Style and images — brand your site with colours, logos and custom CSS
