General Settings

General Settings contains the host-level defaults that shape how an Emakin application identifies itself, notifies administrators, exposes supporting URLs, and generates some shared domain behavior.

General settings in host administration

When to Use This Page

Use this page during initial setup and whenever the host-level identity or shared service endpoints change.

Typical tasks:

  • set the application title
  • define the administrator email used for host-level notifications
  • configure static, market, and push URLs
  • configure generated SMTP domain behavior for channels
  • set host defaults such as domain level, domain expiration, and size limits

Settings Reference

Title

Sets the display name of the application. This title appears in the browser tab. If left blank, the application URL is used.

System Administrator E-Mail

Receives application error notifications.

For Standard domain-level applications, both interface and process-related errors are sent here. For other domain levels, only interface errors are sent here, while process-related errors are sent to members of the Administrators group.

Static URL

Defines the site used to serve Emakin static content when multiple subdomains exist on one application. If there is only one subdomain, use the main access URL.

Market URL

Defines the market URL used when downloading apps. If left blank, the documented default market.emakin.com address is used.

Mobile Push URL

Defines the gateway URL used for mobile push notifications. If left blank, the documented default push.emakin.com address is used.

Mobile Push Strategy

Controls how push notifications are sent:

  • Desktop First: send desktop notifications first and skip mobile if desktop succeeds
  • Desktop Only: only send desktop notifications
  • All: send both desktop and mobile notifications
  • Disabled: send no notifications

Desktop notifications use web sockets and may not be supported on every platform.

Incoming Mail (SMTP) Domain

Defines the SMTP host name used for auto-generated channel email addresses.

When this is set, a matching MX record must also exist in DNS.

Example generated channel address:

1

In this example, the left side identifies the channel and this setting provides the smtp.emakin.com domain part.

For forwarding configuration, see Mail Forwarding.

Default Domain Level

Defines the default domain level used when a new domain is created. The documented levels are:

  • Standard
  • OEM
  • Developer
  • Publisher
  • Enterprise

Domain Expiration Period

Defines how long inactivity is tolerated before Emakin flags a domain as inactive and deletes its content automatically. The documented default is 365 days.

Scheduled Task Limit

Defines the minimum execution interval for scheduled tasks. Shorter requested intervals are ignored and this value is used instead. The documented default is 10 minutes.

Process Form Data Size Limit

Defines the maximum workflow-data size in characters. The documented default is 5,000,000 characters. If a form exceeds this limit, Emakin throws an exception.
