Tour of the Settings Tab

Vireo Settings 

In the Admin interface, Vireo offers a number of optional settings that control how things appear both in the administrative interface and in the student submission interface. These settings are found under the Settings tab.

Under the Settings tab, there are six possible sections: User Preferences, Application Settings, Submission Settings, Theme Settings, Email Settings, and Configurable Settings.

Not all administrative users will see all four of these tabs when they log in. 

  • Regular administrative users will have access to only one of these sections: User Preferences.

  • Administrative users designated as “Managers” or “Administrators” will have access to User Preferences plus five additional Settings categories: Application Settings, Email Settings, and Configurable Settings.

The rest of this document will discuss what settings are included in each of these four tabs.
