User Settings & Preferences

Use User settings to control how Octostar behaves for your account. From the main interface, open the user menu in the utility area and select Settings. Most settings are personal (they apply only to you), but some options may be visible only to administrators.

Typical user preferences include how certain views open and what content is visible. For example, you can choose whether AI Chat opens in the current tabset or in a new tabset to the right, and you may be able to show or hide specific content such as hidden workspaces or unlabeled records (records whose concepts do not have label keys).

Administrators may also see platform-level configuration under System settings. These controls affect the whole deployment and can include Timezone, whether AI features are enabled, map configuration (for example the Tile map server URL), geocoding settings (for example the Photon server URL and request limits), AI provider configuration (API keys, endpoints, and default models), and file upload restrictions such as global size thresholds and restricted file types. Use these settings with care, because changes can impact all users and workflows.
