Settings in caralegal

Every organization documents differently. That's why you decide which fields, sections and functions your teams see in caralegal. As an administrator, you manage this centrally on the Settings page. The page is organized into three sections so you can find the right setting quickly: General Settings, System Settings and Feature Settings.

General Settings

This section contains the basic settings for your caralegal environment.

System Settings

The system settings let you define which areas and functions are available to users without administrator rights. This keeps the interface clear for your business departments and shows only what is relevant for their daily work.

All of the settings in the System section are not new - they have been there already and have only now been grouped together.

  • Hide predefined user roles - this will hide the default Caralegal user roles. Used in cases when a customer only uses custom roles instead of the predefined ones. This toggle is not available to all customers.

  • Hide batch functionality for Non-Admin users - This hides the possibility to apply a function to multiple items at once (for example deleting them).

  • Hide Resources for Non-Admin users - Non-Admin users will not be able to access the Resources.

  • Hide Dashboard for Non-Admin users - Non-Admin users will not be able to access the Dashboard.

Feature Settings

In this section, you adapt the individual caralegal modules to your documentation practice. You can show or hide fields, define mandatory information and activate additional documentation options.
