Application Settings
Every activation and deactivation of these switches available here is logged in the Activity Log.
Click on Settings at the top and then on Application Settings on the left to change the settings.
All available settings in the Application Settings are explained below:

- E-Mail Configuration (SMTP)
- Specify whether users should receive email notifications for Analytic Run updates
- Choose your preferred authentication method.
- Test Connection - Verifies whether the connection is successful and displays relevant error messages if any issues are detected.
