Preferences

Preferences is the section of Settings where admins configure platform-wide behavior:

• How the interface looks
• How the platform sends email
• How search and lineage behave by default
• How the profiler computes metrics

Unlike Teams, Roles, or Services, none of these settings are scoped to a single team, connector, or asset. A change here takes effect for every user on the instance the next time they load the relevant page, so it’s worth understanding what a setting does before changing it, not just where to find it.

​

How to Access

Navigate to Settings > Preferences. Every item under Preferences requires Admin access. Non-admin users don’t see the Preferences menu at all, so if a teammate reports they can’t find these settings, that’s expected unless they’ve been made an admin.

What’s in Preferences

The table below lists every setting under Preferences, in the order it appears in the product, with a short description of what each one does and a link to the full guide. Custom Logo and Theme aren’t separate settings. They’re two panels on the same Theme page in the product. For more information about customizing your logo, favicon, and color palette, see Theme and Branding.
