# Configure server settings

You can create a more personalized user experience by defining your server settings. Go to Settings & Info → Settings → **Server Settings**.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

By default, the keyboard shortcuts, timezone, and timestamp format options appear on the **Preferences** table of the **User Details** page. To instead display these settings in the **Server Settings** page, add the `UI.show.timezone.in.server.settings` server config, set to `true`. Keyboard shortcuts, timezone, and timestamp format are not set universally and only apply to the user who sets them.

| Appearance           | <p>By default, the full-size Cortex XSOAR logo displays on the sign-in page, on the navigation bar when expanded, on reports, on the artifact viewer, and on communication task forms and emails. A minimized version of the default Cortex XSOAR logo displays at the top of the navigation bar when it is collapsed. You can replace the default logos with a custom logo to match your organization's branding in the Cortex XSOAR platform. Supported file formats are PNG, JPEG, SVG, and GIF. You can add the following:</p><ul><li>Full-size logo: Upload your logo (displayed when the navigation bar is not collapsed).</li><li>Minimized logo: Upload your logo for the top of the navigation bar when it is collapsed (minimized).</li></ul><div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>Note</strong></p><p>If you define a full-size logo, but not a minimized logo, no logo will display when the navigation bar is collapsed.</p></div>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| Telemetry Collection | <p>Cortex XSOAR uses telemetry to collect specific usage data, which is analyzed and used to improve Cortex XSOAR and to identify common usage to help drive the product roadmap.</p><p>You can select the following:</p><ul><li><strong>All</strong>: Includes data that helps improve operational efficiency, optimizes resource allocation, enhances the overall user experience of Cortex XSOAR, and data relevant for debugging. For more information, see <a href="/pages/sXhIxLanAwGjQ0hr2DRl">Telemetry in Cortex XSOAR</a>.</li><li><strong>System diagnostics only</strong>: Captures data relevant to debug issues only. Cortex XSOAR sends error logs stack traces and infrastructure metrics that could help debug technical issues, CPU, memory, etc.</li><li><strong>None</strong>: No telemetry is transmitted, apart from essential information according to your license, such as usage.</li></ul><div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>Note</strong></p><p>Only users with <strong>Role</strong> → <strong>Components</strong> → <strong>Administration</strong> → <strong>View/Edit</strong> permission can change the telemetry scope, such as Administrators.</p></div> |
| Custom Content       | <p>You can do the following:</p><ul><li>Export all custom content: Exports custom content, such as playbooks and scripts as a content bundle, which you can import for use in another Cortex XSOAR tenant.</li><li>Upload custom content: Imports custom content created from a Cortex XSOAR tenant.</li></ul>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Login Message        | <p>You can display a custom message to users before every login to Cortex XSOAR.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.11/onboard-cortex-xsoar/onboard-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/post-deployment/configure-system-settings/configure-server-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
