Being a portal administrator you have a right to change portal settings in order to satisfy your corporate needs. To access the Settings page click the Portal Settings icon at the top of the start page or use the Settings link always available at the bottom of the page.
A portal user can configure portal language and skin settings in the My Tools section.
1. General settings
The General tab of the Settings page opens by default. Here you can define the following settings:
Language and Time Zone Settings
Select an appropriate language to display all portal pages and notification. The currently available languages are: English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Latvian, Italian, Chinese Simplified, Ukrainian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Greek, Turkish, Czech, Vietnamese and Finnish.
If you'd like to translate TeamLab to your own language click here to learn how to do that.
Then set the time zone that corresponds to your location from the Time Zone drop-down list.
DNS Settings
This section allows you set an alternative URL for your TeamLab portal. You may set an alias or even specify your own domain name. To do that:
- Enter the desired alias in the Portal Address field.
Example: you registered your portal at name.teamlab.com. The alias will help you change the «name» part of your portal URL so that your portal is available at alternativename.teamlab.com.
- Check the Custom domain name box and specify your own domain name for your TeamLab portal in the field below.
Note:
before you may do it, you'll need to configure your domain name to point to the TeamLab server by setting up the appropriate DNS records with your registrar. Please contact your registrar from whom you purchased the domain name for help on how to do it.
Note:
to set up your own domain name, you can use one of the following options (the first one being more preferable):
- Add a DNS CNAME entry, such as for example: team.ourcompany.com - intranet.teamlab.com
- Add a DNS A-type entry, such as for example: team.ourcompany.com - 184.73.209.189 (IP address).
Trusted Mail Domain Settings
This option allows you to specify the mail servers that may be used for user self-registering in TeamLab. It's possible to set Custom domains, select Any domains or Disable this option.
If you check one of two first radio buttons any member of your company who has an account at specified mail server will be able to register him(her)self by clicking the Join link on the title page and entering the email address. Those
who have done so will receive an invitation email with a link to the portal start page where the person can enter a password and confirm it in order to sign in.
Help and Advertisement Settings
This option allows you to switch on/off advertisement and help panels which appear on certain portal pages and promote portal features. The advertisement panel helps users take advantage of all available functionality, the help panel explains how to use a particular option. If you don't need this information any more use the off radio button to disable the panels.
Password Strength Settings
Use the available settings to determine password complexity (the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute-force attacks). The Minimal password length bar sets how long the password should be to be considered strong. Check the appropriate boxes below the bar to determine the character set that must be used in the password.
Invitation Link
Use the link displayed in this section to invite a person to your portal. You just need to compose your own invitation letter and insert this link into the email.
Use the Save button at the bottom of each section to apply changes you made.
