Your Company's General Settings

After opening an account with us on Connecteam, you'll need to set up your general settings. The account's settings range from selecting visual customization options to managing your plan, as well as deciding on security settings and admin permissions.

In this article, we will cover:

To reach your general settings, head over to your name at the top right corner of the screen. Click on your name and select Settings. This will open up the account's General Settings.

Please note: Some tabs are restricted to owners only. To check what you should have access to, please visit our article about the differences between owners and admins.

In the General tab, you can set up the following items:

💡 Tip: Language and time zone settings on the Connecteam mobile app will adjust based on your device's language and time zone settings. Additionally, the time format presented in the app is also dependent on your device's language - if your device is set to English US, the time format will appear as AM/PM, and if it is set to English UK the format will appear military time (16:00 instead of 04:00 PM).

These settings serve as the foundation of your account, so they have a big impact! Your account will be built according to these settings.

If you're looking for a bit more customization and adding a personal touch to your account, then the "Logo and colors" tab is exactly the place for you! In this tab, you can upload your logo to the platform and select your company's app colors.

To add or change a company logo, click on the company logo space to upload a file from your computer.

To remove a company logo and revert to the Connecteam logo, click on the X in the company logo space.

💡 Tip: After adding your logo, select which color will suit best using our "Theme Preview", located next to the logo and color selection.

Admin permissions allow you to decide which actions your admins are and are not allowed to take. They give you control over which admins have access to which information. Besides the category and asset permissions that are assigned to each admin inside individual features, there are also general default options for your convenience.

In the Admin Permissions tab, you'll be able to modify Content, Categories, and Smart Groups permissions that are given to your admins.

Want to add a personal touch to your app's welcome screen? This is the place for you to do it! In the Welcome screen tab, you can modify the welcome screen of your mobile app and add relevant data such as the company's privacy policy and terms & conditions for your employees to view and agree to upon entering the app.

In the Feed settings tab, you can customize how users will view the dashboard and mobile feed, and how you can post and categorize information.

If you don't want to publish updates under your name, you can create a custom publisher to publish updates for your employees on behalf of a persona, a department or team name, or any other fun character!

To add a custom publisher, go to the Feed settings tab and in the custom publishers tab click 'Add publisher'. Give your publisher a name and select which users will be able to publish under the custom publisher.

Feed topics allow you to segment your feed based on your custom topics and categories. With the ability to differentiate between what’s important and what is merely 'nice to have', you can organize updates by category to ensure everyone stays informed while maintaining their attention on the information that matters most.
