Settings

12 articles

The Settings area in Flowtly is where administrators configure the core behavior of the platform to match their organization's requirements. It covers a wide range of options, from basic organization profile details to advanced security and integration settings.

Organization settings include company information, default currency, fiscal year configuration, and localization preferences. These foundational settings influence how data is displayed and processed throughout the entire platform, so it is important to configure them correctly during initial setup.

Security and authentication settings allow administrators to enforce single sign-on (SSO) through Google Workspace or Microsoft (Entra ID / Teams) — no other SAML/OIDC provider is currently supported. The Security settings page itself offers a single control: an organization-wide MFA enforcement toggle.

Widget configuration lets administrators customize the dashboard experience organization-wide by turning individual summary panels, charts, and quick-access links on or off for the home screen (this applies to all users, not per role). Invoicing configuration covers default payment terms, numbering schemes, tax settings, and templates that apply to all invoices generated within the platform.
