System settings

Organisation-wide settings: global behaviour, the main menu, Willba's appearance, sites and user groups.

GLB - Global Configuration​

Global Configuration collects settings from many areas. Each field is explained on the page of its area:

Timezone​

Your local timezone, chosen from INF - Timezone. Willba uses it to decide when a day starts and ends: check-in and check-out, task due dates, automated sales actions, the POS business day and reports. Set it once when Willba is taken into use.

Timezones are written in the international format, e.g. Europe/Helsinki.

The navbar defines Willba's main menu: the top-level menus and the views under each.

FieldWhat it affects
Navbar itemThe top-level menu: Search, Front desk, Booking, Listing, Report or Registry. A menu without views is not shown.
Sort dropdown items byOrder of the views: as entered in Strapi, or alphabetically.
Dropdown itemsThe views in the menu. Each view can be added once per menu.

A dropdown item can also be an external link (view type External):

FieldWhat it affects
External nameLabel in the menu.
External URLAddress of the page.

External slugThe end of the page's address inside Willba, e.g. intranet. Created from the name if empty.
Open in new tabOpens the link in a new browser tab.

Removing a view from the menu hides it from everyone. Access to views is additionally limited by user permissions — for example the Users view is only shown to users allowed to manage users.

ERP - Theme Configuration​

The look of the Willba main application.

FieldWhat it affects
BrandingLogo in the header, browser tab icon (favicon) and page title.
PaletteColours: primary, secondary, accents, text colours and the success, warning and danger colours. Empty colours use Willba's defaults.
SpacingHow much space there is around and between elements. Affects the whole interface — change with care.
TypographyFonts for headings and body text (Google Fonts or Adobe Typekit) and the base font size.

The webshop and printed documents have their own themes: see Webshop registers and Documents.

SITE - Site​

Sites are the properties or locations of a multi-site organisation. Many registers can be limited to certain sites (see Site restrictions).

FieldWhat it affects
NameShown in the site selector and site lists. Must be unique.

Users see the sites they have been given access to in user management; creating a site in Strapi does not by itself grant access to anyone.
