Study Notes

Configured Commerce Settings

The Administration > Settings page allows management of Optimizely Configured Commerce website and Admin Console settings.
Settings displayed are based on assigned user roles and the installed version of Configured Commerce.
Settings include failed login attempts, promotion code case sensitivity, and product list page pagination.
Each tile on the Settings page provides a brief description of the settings it manages.
Select a tile or menu item to display its settings.
Some settings require an IIS restart for changes to take effect.

Global vs. Website-Specific Settings

The Settings page defaults to Global Defaults, which apply to all websites.
To view website-specific settings, select the website from the Configuring dropdown.
Some settings are only configurable at the Global Defaults level, indicated by a lock icon and "Global" label.
Website-specific settings are indicated by a website-specific icon.
Updating a website-specific setting at the Global Defaults level does not override existing website-specific settings.

Searching for Settings

Use the search bar to find settings quickly.
As you type, the search provides suggestions.
Matching settings are highlighted with a count next to each category.
Click the X in the search box to clear the search.

Duplicate and Dependent Setting Names

Some setting names, like "Live" or "Merchant ID", are used in multiple instances and may have dependencies.
Duplicate settings include a parent identifier in the search box, e.g., "Password Minimum Required Length - Console Security".

Some settings depend on other settings.
Example: Invoice History settings are hidden when Invoice History is set to Off.
When a hidden setting is searched for, a message indicates that the parent setting must be enabled.

Each setting has a help icon explaining its purpose, field limits, and default value.
Settings with multiple fields allow adding and deleting entries.
An option to Restore default is available after making changes.
