Show Metadata

This setting controls whether users can view dataset and dashboard metadata in Reporting. Admins may want to disable this option for security reasons, especially when using Holistics account for multiple clients.

Special Delights

When enabled, Holistics displays special animations and celebrations during special events like Christmas, New Year, and other holidays. This adds a festive touch to your workspace.

Disable this option if you prefer a consistent interface year-round.

By default, Holistics displays friendly loading messages when a dashboard or report is being loaded. Disable it if you prefer a more minimalistic interface.

Data Delivery Settings

Data Delivery Settings in Holistics Administration

This setting allows you to:

  • Edit the default sender name: By default, the sender name for data delivery emails is Holistics. You can change it to your own name or company name. However, we recommend avoiding this if possible, as it may sometimes result in emails being sent to the Spam box.
  • Configure who receives failure notifications when data delivery fails. Learn more in Global Failure Recipients List.

Set Limit on Visualization Records
