# Settings

### Overview

Network administrators have the ability to manage domain-wide settings for the Greetings module. These settings control how users can create, send, and interact with greetings within the network.

#### **Limit Recipients per Greeting**

This setting determines the maximum number of recipients a user can select when sending a greeting. Administrators can use this to manage distribution and ensure appropriate usage.

***

#### **Allow Users to Upload or Pick a Greeting from the Media Gallery**

Enabling this option allows users to personalize their greetings by selecting an image from the media gallery or uploading a custom one. The **Pick from Media Gallery** button will appear in the **Send a Greeting** pop-up on the User Portal when this setting is turned on.

Admins can choose to keep comments always enabled or automatically disable new comments and replies after a set duration between 1 and 90 days from the greeting’s creation/publish date. By default, comments and replies on greetings remain open indefinitely.

***

#### **Allow Users to Upload Any Image as a Greeting**

When enabled, this setting allows users to upload any image as a greeting via the **Upload** tab in the **Add Media** pop-up. Network administrators should consider implementing a **Company Policy** page outlining rules and guidelines for acceptable image uploads.

### Widget Settings

#### Display Logged-in User’s Birthday in Widget

Users can see their own upcoming milestones within the Greetings widgets, making it easier to track personal celebrations:

* **"You" Labeling**: Personal entries are clearly labeled as (You) within the list.
* **Pre-Event Status**: Leading up to the day, the widget displays "It's your birthday soon!" or the upcoming anniversary year. These entries remain non-clickable until the actual date.
* **Event Day**: On the day of the milestone, the row becomes interactive. Clicking it triggers the full celebration animation.

Admins manage these visibility settings through the Greetings module settings in the Admin Portal:

* **Visibility Toggles**: Admins can enable or disable the display of a logged-in user’s own birthday or work anniversary in the widgets.
* **Custom Highlighting**: A background color from the branding palette can be configured to highlight a user’s own row, visible only to them.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Privacy First**: Existing privacy settings are strictly enforced. If a user has set their birth or hire date to **Private**, they will **not** appear in the widget, even to themselves.
{% endhint %}
