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.
- Overridden: Indicates the setting has been customized for the community, deviating from the workspace default.
- Reset: Allows reverting the setting back to the inherited workspace value, removing the community-specific customization.
Community settings is part of the Basic Setting.
