⚙️General settings

In the General Settings of your Spot, you can modify your Spot's name, description, logo, and privacy settings.

Spot Information

In this section, you can modify the name, logo, and description of your Spot.

• Providing a name for your Spot is mandatory. It must be at least 4 characters and no more than 100 characters.

• Adding a description for your Spot is optional. If you choose to add one, it must be a maximum of 300 characters. It will be displayed during the registration process and is intended to encourage new users to join the Spot.

• Adding a logo for your Spot is optional. The image must be in .png, .jpg, or .gif format and should not exceed 1MB. It is recommended to use a square image with a minimum size of 40 x 40 pixels.

Access Settings

Privacy

You can modify the privacy settings of your Spot. You can define the access conditions for your Spot: Public or Private.

• Public: If you choose to make your Spot public, any user will be able to join your Spot without needing your approval.

• Private: If you choose to make your Spot private, any user who wants to join your Spot will need to wait for you to approve or deny their request.

Email Verification

You can decide to require email verification for your members by toggling the switch on or off.

If you enable this feature:

• As long as they have not verified their email, your members will not be able to access the Spot's content.

• Members who log in with their email and password will need to verify their email. They will receive an email with a verification link. Once they click the link, their email will be verified, and they will regain access to all Spot content. If you have enabled SSO for your Spot, all members who log in via SSO will be automatically verified.

Languages & Time Zone

On the same page, you can define the language (Deutsch, Dutch, English, Español, Français, Italiano ou Português) and timezone of your Spot. By default, these settings align with the language and timezone of the device used to create the Spot. This language is used whenever a default language is required. In particular, it is used to:

• generate email templates when the Spot is created

• generate the home page when the Spot is created

• generate default course step titles

• emails when the user's language is not known

If you modify this language, the new language will only be used for new content and in future emails.

Short links

Short links are unique links that automatically redirect each member to the correct version of their Spot (full application or embed).

If you activate this feature

• From the Share buttons available in MeltingSpot, the copied link is a short link.

• Example: https://mltngs.pt/s/xxxx

• This link will be valid for all users.

When clicking on a short link:

• If you are logged in, you will be redirected directly to the content.

• If you are not logged in, you can chose:

  • Login page, via email or SSO. The member is redirected to a login page where they can choose to sign in either with SSO or with their MeltingSpot credentials.

  • Only with SSO. The member is redirected directly to the SSO login URL (this option is available only if SSO is enabled).

If you do not activate this feature

From the Share buttons, the copied link will be the direct URL of the page you are on.
