Overview
This page provides a high-level understanding of what settings represent within the Fluent platform.
Key points
- Settings are leveraged to enable/disable specific features in the platform.
- Settings are set in a specific context (Account, Retailer, Location/Agent).
Settings configuration allows the management of business rules by enabling/disabling certain platform features (feature toggles). Each setting can be specified on different levels and applied in hierarchical order:
- Account - Account level setting which applies to all Retailers
- Retailer - Retailer level setting which applies to the Retailer
- Agent - Location level setting which applies to the Location
Settings available for each context:
- Account Settings
- Retailer Settings
- Agent Settings (Location) include PICK_PACK_TIME_LIMIT, and fc.mystique.manifest.store
Roles are assigned within a Context, and higher levels of Context will automatically allocate to lower levels. For example, if a User has a Role which grants the ORDER_UPDATE Permission in the Account context, they will also have that Permission for all Retailers and Agents (Location level context) below that Account.
Settings can also specify custom values or toggles used in Fluent apps. For example, a setting that toggles “warehouse fulfilment only” or a setting that defines environment-specific webhook endpoints. Compared to an entity's attributes, settings are more static.
