General Settings

Here you set up your app name and company tagline, along with other default settings such as language and time zone.

To access your General settings:

1. Login to Beekeeper on a desktop computer
2. Click the “speedometer” icon on the right-hand side of the top navigation bar to go to the Dashboard:
   
   
3. Click the “Settings” tab to the left
4. Select the “General” subtab.

First, we want to decide on a name for your Beekeeper platform. Many clients use their company name, or a word related to their product and append a noun like Buzz, Talk, Chat, or Connect. For example, MyCompany Connect.

Enter your app’s name in the “Name” field in the Community section. You can also add a tagline (either your company’s or one specific to your new app) which will appear on the login screen when your employees sign in.  

Adjust your default language and time zone. Further information about languages here.

Finally, enter an e-mail address into the field "Support E-Mail Address". This is the address to which password reset requests will be sent if a user had lost or forgotten their password and submits a request from the login screen. It is important that you monitor this e-mail address on a regular basis and review and process requests without delay.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Save settings".

In the Moderation section you can limit how often posts and comments need to be reported until they get hidden. Moderators will be able to show them again if they flag the content in concern as good. Adjust according to the size of your community.

The Security section allows setting auto logout period for all users stipulated in days. Another feature here is iframe embedding, which can be allowed or disallowed.

You can customize how a user's profile is displayed in the user directory and posts in Display Name section. 

The Login Screen section helps users understand what ID they should use to sign in. This value will be shown in the login form. 

The Single Sign-On section enables you to choose a login option, either single sign-on or password based login.
