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.

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.
