Configuration Options

You'll find the following settings in the NATS For Networks Configuration Admin.

Project Settings

The Configuration Admin's "Project Settings" section contains settings that base settings that apply to your NATS For Networks install. The important settings in this section include:

• Project - Allows you to configure the name of your NATS For Networks install, as well as domain and time zone.
  • PROJECT_NAME / NICE_NAME - Used on various NATS For Networks templates to print the name of your NATS For Networks. For example: NICE_NAME is used to name the news section on customers.php. You can change these to anything.
