System Settings
System Settings allow authorized administrators to configure platform-wide behavior and default settings for AiX.
These settings apply across the AiX environment and may affect multiple users, teams, and platform capabilities.
Because changes to system settings can affect the operation of the platform, access should be limited to authorized administrators.
Accessing System Settings
To access System Settings:
- Sign in to AiX using an account with administrative permissions.
- Open Administration.
- Select System Settings.
- Select the settings category you want to review or modify.
The settings available depend on your AiX version, deployment configuration, and administrative permissions.
General Settings
General settings define basic information and behavior for the AiX environment.
Depending on your configuration, these settings may include:
- Organization name
- Environment name
- Default language
- Regional settings
- Date and time format
- Time zone
- Default application behavior
These settings can help align the AiX environment with your organization's operating requirements.
Organization Settings
Organization settings identify the organization or business environment using AiX.
Depending on the deployment, administrators may configure information such as:
- Organization name
- Display name
- Organization information
- Default preferences
Organization settings may also be used by other AiX capabilities when presenting information to users or generating outputs.
Regional Settings
Regional settings control how locale-sensitive information is presented within AiX.
Depending on the available configuration, administrators may define settings such as:
- Default language
- Time zone
- Date format
- Time format
- Number format
Individual user preferences may override selected defaults where supported.
Administrators should ensure that the configured time zone is appropriate for scheduled processes and audit information.
Default Settings
AiX may provide platform-wide defaults for selected capabilities.
Defaults help provide a consistent starting configuration while allowing individual resources to use different settings where permitted.
For example, an organization may define defaults that are used when a new resource is created.
Changing a default setting does not necessarily change existing resources that already have their own configuration.
AI Defaults
Where available, administrators may define default AI-related preferences for the platform.
These may include settings such as:
- Default AI model
- Default response behavior
- Default language
- Other platform-level AI preferences
Only AI models that have already been configured and made available to the AiX environment can be selected.
Detailed model configuration, endpoints, credentials, deployment, and lifecycle management are covered under AI Model Management.
Content and File Settings
Depending on your organization's configuration, system settings may include default behavior relating to content and files.
These settings may control areas such as:
- Supported content behavior
- Default content locations
- File handling preferences
- Output handling
- Temporary or working content
Technical storage configuration, network shares, mounted volumes, and infrastructure-level file services are covered under Deployment and Operations & Maintenance.
Application Settings
Application settings control selected platform-wide behavior within AiX.
Depending on the version and configuration, these settings may include:
- Feature availability
- Default user experience
- Platform behavior
- Resource defaults
- Application-level options
Administrators should review the impact of a setting before changing it in a production environment.
Feature Availability
Some AiX capabilities may be enabled or disabled according to the organization's requirements, licensing, deployment, or configuration.
Depending on the environment, this may affect the availability of capabilities such as:
- Chat
- Knowledge Base
- Assistants
- Smartflow
- Scheduler
- Integrations
- Other optional capabilities
Disabling a capability may affect users or processes that depend on it.
Review dependencies before changing feature availability.
Authentication Settings
Some authentication-related settings may be visible through Administration.
These may identify the authentication methods available to the AiX environment or control application-level authentication behavior.
Detailed identity provider configuration, Single Sign-On, federation, and authentication integration are covered under Authentication & SSO.
Administrators should avoid changing authentication settings without understanding how users currently access the platform.
Incorrect authentication configuration may prevent users from signing in.
System Settings and Technical Configuration
System Settings are intended primarily for application-level configuration.
Technical infrastructure configuration is documented separately.
Use the following sections when managing the underlying AiX environment:
AI Model Management AI model endpoints, availability, configuration, and model management.
Deployment Servers, containers, databases, storage, networking, and deployment configuration.
Integration Enterprise systems, identity services, document repositories, messaging services, and external APIs.
Operations & Maintenance Monitoring, logs, backups, recovery, patching, service management, and routine maintenance.
Security Authentication, authorization, data protection, audit, and security controls.
