Introduction

Complete your setup

We try to establish reasonable defaults wherever possible. But we recommend to make yourself familiar with the platform settings and change them according to your needs if necessary.


Platform settings

During setup of your new platform, you should have already provided general contact details as well as a platform name and a link to your imprint. There are a few other settings you can utilize:

  • Contact phone number (so your users can reach you by phone)

  • Link to your terms as well as a link to your privacy policy

  • A custom link that will appear next to your imprint link on every page

  • You can choose between having a light or a dark theme with the selectbox "Platform Appearance"

  • Default folder listing mode can be set. Either grid view or list view. Please note that users may override this setting as they please.

In order to enable usecases where consistency of filenames in origin and in the logs is important, we added an option to disable "save" filenames and use the original un-altered filenames throughout the platform.

You can enable this by unchecking the "Slugify Download-Filenames" checkbox.

Note

Please be advised that disabeling this will decrease the compatibility with third party systems as those are, in some cases, not able to handle special characters in filenames.

Also note that this setting has no consequence for file delivery to FTP-Servers.


E-Mail settings

scoopa sends out a lot of e-mails on your behalf which you can customize to your needs under "Settings" -> "E-Mail". The following mail templates can be customized:

  • Welcome User - the onboarding mail for new users

  • New File - when a new file is available

  • New Folder - when a new folder is available

  • New Folders - when multiple new folders are available

  • Forgot Password - when the user starts the "forgot password" process

  • Resend Password - if you send the user a request to set a new password

You can also see the contact information you provided in the platform settings in the e-mail previews.


Default texts

In "Settings" -> "Texts" you can provide default text values for the copyright and description fields of folders and files. These can be overwritten in every folder as needed. Please note that the copyright and description field are inherited down the folder tree, including the file.

You can also set a text for download confirmation. If provided, each download will be preceeded with a popup asking for confirmation of said text. This is useful for ensuring information about proper rights and limitations.
