# 1. General Settings

### **General Settings**

The **General Settings** section provides system administrators with the ability to configure core application settings, including system-level configurations and mail notification preferences. It is divided into two main tabs: **System Settings** and **Mail Settings**.

#### **1. System Settings**

The **System Settings** tab allows administrators to configure basic application parameters that are essential for system identification and access. Key settings include:

* **Application Name**
  * Defines the display name of the application in the email alerts
  * Example: `CheckCle App`
* **Application URL**
  * The URL used to access the application instance.
  * This is critical for email notifications and system links to function correctly.
  * Example: `http://127.0.0.1:8090`
* **Edit Functionality**
  * Administrators can update the application name and URL by clicking the **Edit** button.
  * Changes are immediately applied system-wide.

> **Note:** Ensure the Application URL is correct to avoid broken links in notifications and system-generated emails.

#### **2. Mail Settings**

The **Mail Settings** tab allows configuration of the system’s email notification system. This ensures that users receive timely notifications for critical events and system activities. Typical notifications include:

* **User Login Alerts**
  * Sends email notifications when a new device logs into a user account.
  * Helps monitor unauthorized access attempts.
* **Password Reset Emails**
  * Automatically sends password reset links to users requesting a reset.
* **Email Server Configuration**
  * Administrators can specify SMTP settings, sender email address, and security protocols (TLS/SSL).

> **Best Practice:** Verify that the mail server settings are correct and test the notification system to ensure emails are delivered reliably.

***

#### **Summary**

The **General Settings** section centralizes the key configurations for both the system and email notifications. By properly configuring these settings, administrators ensure a smooth and secure operation of the application, and users receive timely alerts for important events.
