Platform Settings allow you activate or configure selected features on the GoodData platform that are currently not universally available. Use Platform Settings to test if a feature works in your particular platform environment. If you are not happy with the results, you can easily revert to your original setting. 

Platform Settings enable you to activate features hierarchically in the following order: Domain>Project Group>Project. For example, settings configured at the domain level are inherited by Project Group and Project. Settings configured at Project Group level are inherited only by Project.

Contents:


Only change the settings that are documented in this section. Other feature settings can be removed or may stop working at any time without warning. Only carry out these actions if you are sure of what you are doing otherwise contact GoodData Support.

For more information on GoodData terminology, check the GoodData Glossary. 

How to Apply Platform Settings

You can configure settings for a project, project group (aka token), or a domain. You cannot configure the setting for a user.

  • When configuring the setting for a project:
    • You must be a project admin.
    • You need to know the project ID.
  • When configuring the setting for a token or a domain, you must be a domain admin.

When changing feature settings, consider the following:

  • If you have a domain (both white-labeled and not white-labeled) you can change feature settings at all levels: domain, token, and project.
  • If you do not have a domain you can alter feature settings only for a specific project. For a token contact GoodData Support.

Steps:

  1. Log in to the gray pages:
    • To configure the setting for a specific project:
      https://<domain_url>/gdc/projects/<project_id>/config/
    • To configure the setting for a token:
      https://<domain_url>/gdc/projectGroups/<token>/config
    • To configure the setting for a domain:
      https://<domain_url>/gdc/domains/<domain_name>/config
    The page with the current settings opens.
  2. In the Config section on the bottom of the page, fill in the fields:
  3. Click Create config.
    The page with the setting details opens.
  4. Log in to the GoodData Portal, and check that the feature setting functions correctly.

How to Switch Back to the Old Platform Setting

You can switch back to the original feature by setting the key to the original value.

Steps:

  1. Log in to the gray pages:
    • For a specific project:
      https://<domain_url>/gdc/projects/<project_id>/config/
    • For a token:
      https://<domain_url>/gdc/projectGroups/<token>/config/
    • For a domain:
      https://<domain_url>/gdc/domains/<domain_name>/config/

    The page with the details of the Key setting opens.
    The Key setting is set to current Value.

  2. In the Value field, delete the current Value and click Update config.
    The page with the setting details refreshes.
