Application Settings

Last Updated: October 22, 2026

Overview

Application Settings holds the platform-wide settings of D3: dashboard columns, date and time formats, logos, password and login rules, email, and other features.

Application Settings is under Global Settings in the sidebar: select Global Settings, then Application Settings.

The page lists the configuration items on the left, in four groups: General Settings, Security & Authentication, Email & Communication and Feature Settings, followed by Mitre Att&ck. Each item shows its status: Configured, or the number of fields still missing, for example 5 Field(s) Missing. Select an item to open it on the right.
