You can configure many of the general options in activeCollab from the General Settings page. To access it, select the General tool in the Administration area:
From here you can configure the following settings:
- Show Welcome Message - WWhen set to Yes, activeCollab will display a Welcome Message instead of the Dashboard after you login to the system for the first time. This setting is automatically turned of when the Administrator clicks the Hide Welcome Message button on the Dashboard.
- Use Client Logo for Projects Without Custom Icons - When this option is selected and when no project icon is already set, activeCollab will use the appropriate client's logo as a project icon instead. You can learn more about this handy feature in this article.
- Default Theme - Here you can change the look of activeCollab by choosing between the Default and Sandbox themes, that are shipped with it (or choose a custom theme). Users can override this setting on their profile page.
- Default Assignments Filter - Sets up the default filter that will be used when someone visits the Assignments page. Users can override this settings on their profiles, if they wish.
- Project Templates Group - When this option is not set, activeCollab lists all available projects in the Project Template drop-down of the New Project form. Use this settings to narrow down the list to selected projects only that you wish to use as Project Template.
- When User Logs Out - By default, users are redirected to a login page after they log out of activeCollab. However if you want you can set a custom web address for people to be redirected to. This is great if you want users to return to your website after they log out, for example.
