Tenant Settings 

In AppForms Designer, Tenant Settings are configuration options and features that apply at the tenant level. These settings control the functionality of the AppForms platform for all users within a specific tenant.

Each tenant in AppForms represents an independent workspace or organization using the platform. Tenant Settings allow each tenant to customize the AppForms experience according to their operational, compliance, and branding requirements without impacting other tenants in the system.

The settings are organized into two categories:

• Basic Settings – Contains all standard and stable features available for general use.
• Beta Version – Contains features that are in a pre-release state and under active development. These features can be enabled and used in projects after validating that they meet the project’s functional requirements.

1. Basic Settings
2. Enable Quick Menu – This option is used to enable or disable the Quick Menu feature in the Designer. The Quick Menu provides quick access to frequently used control settings.

2. Security – This setting is used to enable or disable the “Manage Security” link in Form Explorer. It is recommended to disable this option when the security feature is not in use, as it can improve application performance.

3. Dataform settings – This setting enables the Dataform feature for the current tenant on creating a new form. This is a feature where a user does not need to configure any backend connection to save or select data.

4. Dataform Trail settings – This setting enables the Dataform Trail feature for the current tenant.
5. Custom Error Description – This setting allows you to display a custom error message instead of the default system-generated message for the tenant when an error occurs while rendering. When this option is enabled, an additional field will be displayed to enter the custom error message. The message can be updated using the adjacent Update button.

6. Maintenance Mode Settings – The Maintenance Mode feature allows administrators to temporarily restrict access to forms while displaying either a maintenance page or a custom form. Clicking the Manage link opens a popup window where the maintenance configurations can be updated.

7. Slide Panel Settings – This setting allows you to configure a slide panel for the current tenant by selecting a form in the Form Path section. The configured form is displayed in a slide panel when users click the blue arrow shown on the right side of the web part, and clicking the arrow again hides the panel. This provides quick access to the selected form without navigating away from the current page.

8. WorkFlow Dashboard Settings – When a form is mapped using this setting, the actions configured under the Form Load trigger of the selected form are automatically executed whenever the Workflow Dashboard page is opened. This enables administrators to perform custom initialization, data loading, or other required actions when the dashboard is accessed.

9. Notification Settings – The Notification Settings option allows administrators to configure notification-related settings for the current tenant. This option is available under “Basic Settings” and becomes enabled only when the “Enable Notification Setting” option is enabled in the “Beta Version” settings. Clicking the Manage link opens the Notification Settings popup, where various notification-related properties can be configured, such as push notification settings, notification count, notification duration, notification templates, notification mappings, and reminder options. Detailed information about each property available in the Notification Settings popup is provided in the Push Notification section of this document.

10. Show WorkFlow Link – This setting is used to enable or disable the “Workflow ” link in Form Explorer. It is recommended to disable this option when the Workflow feature is not in use, as it can improve application performance. 

11. Data Form Query logging – Enables or disables query logging for Data Forms. When enabled, a retention period (in days) can be configured for storing query log data and updated using the Update button.
12. Apply Security on Global Menu – Enables security validation for forms configured in the Global Menu.
13. Apply Security on Navigation – Enables security validation for forms rendered from the Home Page configured in Navigation Settings.

14. Password Policy – Allows users to configure password strength and validation rules for user accounts. Available password policy levels are Normal, Medium and Strong. 

15. Enable Form URL – Enables the Direct Form URL feature for the current tenant. When enabled, a checkbox is displayed above the “Direct Form URL” option in the form. The Direct Form URL of a form becomes available only after the checkbox is selected, the form is saved and the form is checked in.

16. Browser Logging – This setting allows you to configure and manage browser logging for the current tenant.

17. Custom Loaders – This configuration allows custom loaders to be configured for individual controls as well as for the entire tenant.
18. Darkmode Settings – This setting allows users to enable the option to toggle Dark Mode support for the tenant.
19. CSS Variables – Enables tenant-level CSS variables that can be referenced within form controls and custom CSS classes. When enabled, the “CSS Variables” option becomes available under the Basic Settings section of Tenant Settings.
20. Datasource Retry Count – This setting is used to configure the retry count for all datasources within the current tenant. Individual datasource retry settings can still be modified separately from the Datasource Settings section later.
