2.3 Settings In The Dashboard
From Zegeba v 4.8, the Settings option has 3 sections: Global, Layout, and Database Access. The Settings option will be further expanded in future versions of Zegeba.
Global
Custom Task Label: If your company is using the Task module you can here specify a different name for the term “task”. You can use “work”, “work order”, “activity”, etc.
In the picture above we have entered “Job” and “Jobs” as the new term. The menu options “Tasks” and “Task Templates” will then called “Jobs” and “Job Templates”. Likewise, in all other instances where Task pops up, such as in the Zegeba app, the word “task” will be replaced by “job”. You can try a new word, look through the Dashboard and the app, and then change it back to “task” again if you want.
Note that you may enter a term in your local language – such as “Oppgave”, “Aufgabe”, “Tache”, “Tarea” – if you are OK with seeing a mix of languages on the screen.
In the Help Center we will only use the word “task” for tasks even if your company has introduced a different term for this functionality.
Task Assignment Message: Here you can enter the default text in the email sent when users are assigned a new task. Press on the parameters listed to the right to add this to the email subject or message. Task templates can also have special assignment messages and they will be used instead of the default text entered here. See Managing: 6.6 Defining Settings for a task template for more information on such messages.
Layout
App Configurations
The configurations here apply to the Web app and the app on Android and iOS. They will apply to all users. Contact Zegeba Support if you want help with this or would like us to setup a test site so you can try out different layout options on that before changing the setup your Zegeba server.
This is an example of a customized app design that you can create in Settings – Layout:
Custom header title: sets the title in the top toolbar. This is often the company name. You can also choose to not use a header title at all. In both cases these options will remove the titles “Forms”, “Tasks” and “Contexts” from the toolbar. Note that a long title may not be displayed properly on a narrow phone screen.
Logo and Logo in menu: Place the logo you want to use in the Dashboard’s Resources, copy it’s URL link and paste it here. The Logo in menu is placed at the bottom of the menu bar, while the Logo is used in the Login screen. Note that if you want to scale the logo up or down, you have to make the logo file larger or smaller.
About text: This is an HTML file with information that you create and upload to Resources. Users will see this when selecting About in the app. About in the Dashboard will still show the regular Zegeba About page.
Custom Styles in App: Click on a color to change it, or on a color’s “x” to remove it and go back to the default color. The seven top settings are the most visible ones. Click on Advanced Style Settings to change other items, such as icons and buttons, for instance in the Login screen.
At the bottom right, press [Set Default Colors] to go back to the Zegeba defaults, press [Reset] to go back to the colors you had before starting the current sessions, or press [Save] to save your selection so you can test them in the app.
Database Access
Whitelisting: this option is used by Admins and Database Users requiring access to the Zegeba SQL database. Contact Zegeba Support to get more information on this.
