General settings

Settings → General is the home for organisation-wide behaviour that does not belong to any one module: how long announcements stay visible, how employee badge IDs are numbered, who can do what, and how dates and times are displayed.

What lives here

Setting What it controls
Announcement Expiry How many days an announcement stays on the dashboard before it drops off.
Employee ID Prefix The badge prefix new employee records are numbered from, per company — for example BOHR producing BOHR0022. Can be turned off if you assign badge IDs a different way.
My Pagination Preference How many rows a list shows before it pages, for your own account only — it does not change what anyone else sees.
Employee Permission Permissions granted to one specific employee outside of a group — see Roles and permissions.
User Group Named bundles of permissions applied to several employees at once — see Roles and permissions.
Accessibility Restriction Accessibility-related access controls.
Date & Time Format How dates and times are displayed across the product.

Settings → General → General Settings, showing Announcement Expiry, Employee ID Prefix and My Pagination Preference

The other settings tabs

General is one of several top-level tabs under Settings, alongside Base (company, departments, job roles — see Company, departments and job roles), Recruitment, Employee, Attendance, Leave, Payroll, Performance, Help Desk, Configuration, and Mitra. Each module keeps its own configuration under its own tab rather than everything being flattened into one long settings page — if you are looking for a leave-type setting, it lives under the Leave tab, not General.
