Server Settings - General tab

Allow Edit Object Colors: This setting is deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
Use Recipient's User Profile for External Links: This setting is only relevant, if the External Access attribute in the Server Settings > Security tab is set to Allow As Authenticated User. If you deselect the checkbox, links to the Alfabet user interface in Alfabet generated emails will open with the user profile of the user sending the mail. If you select the checkbox, the links will open the user interface with the user profile of the user receiving the email.
Send Web Message Direct: This setting is deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
Allow Usage of Run-Time Fonts: This setting is deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
Use ReadOnly User for Report Execution: Select the checkbox if you want configured reports to be executed with a system generated user with ReadOnly access rights. This method prevents damage to the database caused by configured reports based on native SQL that contain DELETE , DROP or UPDATE statements. Please note that configured reports based on stored procedure will not work if this option is selected.
This option will be ignored for configured reports executed with customer defined database users with explicit access permissions.
Use of a different database server for configured reports is not yet documented for Alfabet 11 releases. You can find information about the available options in the documentation of Alfabet 10.15.
Broadcast Message: Select the checkbox to enable the sending of broadcast messages to all users logged in to the Alfabet user interface.
Configuration and activation of broadcast messages is not yet documented for Alfabet 11 releases. You can find information about broadcast messages in the documentation of Alfabet 10.15.
Control Client Aliases: This setting is deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
Stacked Wizards: Select the checkbox to allow a wizard to be opened from within a wizard view displayed in the wizard that a user is currently working in. The new wizard window will overlay the wizard the user is originally working with. The user can only return to the original wizard when the new wizard has been closed.
Enable Audit: Select the checkbox to enable history tracking. When history tracking is activated, a database table named <name of database table for object class>_AU is created for each object class with the Audit attribute set to true. Whenever an object is changed, a new line with relevant information about the action performed is written to the audit table. History tracking requires additional activation steps in the meta-model configuration.
The history tracking functionality cannot be implemented for the object class Person.
Track User Login: Select the checkbox if you want to track user login to the Alfabet user interface. If the Track User Login attribute is activated, the user name and user profile used for login will be written to a database table together with information about the time of the login. This information can be used to configure reports that provide usage statistics.
Enable Collaboration: This setting is for future use. Collaboration is not yet supported for Alfabet 11.9. The checkbox must be deselected.
Enable MS Teams Outgoing Webhook Without Authentication: This setting is deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
Update History User Name: The attribute defines the storage mode of the user’s name in the audit history of objects in Alfabet, the Windows event logging and the history of anonymization actions and updates of the meta-model from a master database.
If set to USER_NAME the user’s user name is used in the audit history table. If set to TECH_NAME, the technical name of the user is used.
NOTE: If the attribute is set to TECH_NAME , a technical name should be defined for all Alfabet users. If no technical name is configured for a user, the user name of that user is stored in the audit tables.
ADIF Job Server Sleep Time (milliseconds): Enter the time between checking the queue for ADIF jobs to be executed. The default of 3000 milliseconds can be changed as needed.
