Settings and preferences
The organization's settings, a lot's own settings, and your personal preferences, and who can change each.
What this is for
There are three levels of settings:
| Level | Where | Who changes it | Who it affects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organization | Admin → Settings | Owners | Everyone, and every lot that has no setting of its own |
| Lot | A lot's Lot settings (the gear in its header) | Owners and managers | That lot |
| Your preferences | Me → Preferences | You | Only you, in the console |
Everyone can read the settings. Every change of an organization or lot setting asks Why, and is kept under Changes, with who changed what and when.
Change a setting
- Find the setting and click Change.
- Choose or type the new value.
- Say Why. It is kept with the change.
- Click Save.
A message confirms the change, with Undo to put the previous value back.
Organization settings
Under Organization:
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Timezone | The timezone for "today", dates on screens and in exports. A name such as Europe/Berlin or UTC. Set it first: "today" depends on it | UTC |
| Language | The organization's language: English or Türkçe. People who chose no language of their own see it. Mail and exports are in English for now. | English |
| Date format | ISO (2026-09-30 14:05), or As the language writes dates | ISO |
| Days a device may stay offline | After this many days without signal, a device must connect before it records more. From 1 to 90 | 30 |
| Identifiers in exports | Never (no export holds ID numbers), or Allowed (an owner or manager may include them, asked for each time and recorded) | Never |
| Setup checklist on Today | Shown until every step is done, or hidden | Shown |
| Trees that may be deleted in a lot each day | The daily limit for deleting tree records in one lot | 10 |
Under What every lot follows (each lot follows these until it sets its own):
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence for a felling | What a felling must carry: Photo, Location, Who cut it. The device will not save a felling without them | All three |
| Utilization flags | When a tree's volume is flagged as high or low. See Checks and flags | 125 % / 65 % / 30 trees |
Lot settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tree notes | The notes crews can tick about a tree. See Tree notes |
| Evidence for a felling | As above, for this lot only |
| Utilization flags | As above, for this lot only. Switch Set figures off to follow the organization again |
| Expected recovery range | At the saw: the share of a log's volume expected to come out as boards. None by default. Outside the range, the saw operator will be asked to check before finishing (the device app's saw screens are not available yet) |
Each row shows where its value Comes from: This lot, The organization or Default. The lot's log code format is shown here too. It cannot be changed after the lot is created.
Your preferences
Me → Preferences. Nobody else sees these, and they change nothing that is recorded.
| Preference | Choices |
|---|---|
| Language | English or Türkçe, or none to follow the organization's language |
| Colours | As this device is set, Light, Dark |
| Text size | Normal, Large, Larger |
| Rows loaded at a time | 50, 100 or 200, for long tables |
| Start page | Today, Lots, Saws or Activity |
Click Save preferences.
Me also shows your name, username, role, organization, its timezone, and What you can do here. Change your password there under Password. Changing it signs you out everywhere else.
Device app display
On a device, Settings → Display sets the Theme (Normal or Sunlight, for bright sun), the Text size and the Language (English or Türkçe). These are for that device, for everyone who uses it. The device does not follow the organization's language.
Support access
Settings → Support access is where an owner lets a support person in for a few hours. See Support access.
Tips
- Settings that change how records are judged, such as utilization flags, apply at once to everything, including what was recorded before.
- Settings that a record must meet, such as the evidence for a felling, apply to new records. Devices get them the next time they have signal.
- Read Changes before changing a setting someone else set. Their reason is there.
