General site settings are accessed at System > Settings > General, where you can switch between catalogs and sites that you are configuring in the header.
While General configurations are always displayed at the top of the page, other settings are separated into tabs as shown below. Note that some options, such as Storefront, may not be applicable for an OMS-only implementation that does not include eCommerce.
Note that changes to these settings may not immediately take effect when processing orders. It may take up to 15 minutes for updates to be reflected in the system while the cache refreshes.
General Site Settings
These settings at the top of the page are your fundamental site settings.
| Setting Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Web Site Name |
Contains the name of the site you are viewing, which you establish at System > Structure > Sites. Your site theme controls whether this value displays on your homepage, your invoices, and your packing slips. Editing the value in this field does not change the site name. |
| CDN Domain |
Allows you to override the default subdomain for CDN-hosted content. For example, for SEO reasons you may prefer that the subdomain for your CDN content be cdn.yourSite.com instead of the default subdomain, which might be like cdn-tp1.Kibo eCommerce.com. By default, this feature is inactive. Contact your Kibo representative for information on enabling it. |
| Bust CDN Cache |
Updates the URL for CDN content in order to force your storefront to display the latest version of files instead of versions that might be saved in cache. To enable the functionality of this button, your theme developer must complete the steps outlined in the Bust Cache topic. |
| Catalog | Populates automatically based on the selection you make at System > Structure > Sites. You cannot change this value. |
| Channel |
Ties the site to the appropriate channel you establish on the Channels page. Refer to Channel Settings for more information about creating channels. |
| Time Zone | Controls which time zone Admin uses for events that record or require time-specific data. |
| Time Format | Controls how the Time zone value is expressed. |
The Email Settings allow you to configure default sender and reply-to settings, though they can be overridden at the individual email level. You cannot edit the formatting or content of emails in the Admin UI. Email templates are customized through the theme instead.
| Setting Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Sender Email | When Kibo sends an automatic email, this is the address that appears as the sender. |
| Sender Email Alias | An alternate name for the sender email. For example, if your sender email is support@yourCompany.com, you might want to use an alias of Customer Support. |
| Reply-to Email | The email shoppers should use to reply to an automatically-generated email. |
| Bcc Email | An email to blind carbon copy anytime an automatic email is sent. |
Then, emails are organized into the below topics that allow you to toggle any emails used across the Kibo Composable Commerce Platform. To override the sender and reply-to defaults for an email template, click the pencil icon next to that email's toggle. Some emails, such as Subscriptions, may not be available if your implementation is not enabled for that feature.

If desired, you can also enable or disable whether to Allow Invalid Addresses. |
| Ship to Multiple Addresses | Enables shipping items in an order to multiple shipping addresses, using different shipping methods. Before enabling this feature, you must make changes to your theme. Refer to the Ship to Multiple Addresses topic for more information. |
Security
The settings included in the Security topic are:
| Setting Name | Description |

Google reCAPTCHA
Enter a Site Key, Secret, and Validity Score requirement in this section's provided fields before enabling reCAPTCHA:

SEO
In this section, you can provide a default image that will display when any other image is broken or not found, or upload your own robots.txt file:

Note: This image also displays in place of unspecified category images. However, most themes, including the Core theme, do not display category images by default.

This section allows you to enable how inventory is managed.
| Setting Name | Description |
