The Global Community Settings panel allows the Community administrator to edit the main components of their IdeaScale community like its status, language, timezone and date format.
During community creation, all these settings except Status are inherited from the default workspace settings. Community administrator can change this and customize as per requirement.
Labels appearing beside the settings are:
- Inherited from Workspace: Indicates the setting is taken from the workspace defaults and not customized at the community level.
- Reset to Workspace Default : Allows reverting the setting back to the inherited workspace value, removing the community-specific customization.
Community settings is part of the Basic Setting.
-
Status: The Community administrator can set the status of the community to Active or Disabled.
-
Language: The Community administrator can change the system prompts to a different language by choosing the desired language from the drop-down box. The community will be displayed in the selected language by default for the members who have not selected a preferred language in their Profile.
-
Default Community Timezone: The default timezone is set to America/Los Angeles; however, members have the flexibility to choose a different timezone that aligns with their specific region.
