# General Settings

*For users with instance administrator permission.*

 

To adjust general organizational settings, click the **Administration** icon and choose **General Settings**.

![](https://support.clearimpact.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-07%20at%204-01-41%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=450&height=527&name=Screenshot%202025-11-07%20at%204-01-41%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)

The **Settings** page has three sections.

 

In the **Instance Logo** section, you can upload or change a logo image.

![](https://support.clearimpact.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-07%20at%204-03-02%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=445&height=240&name=Screenshot%202025-11-07%20at%204-03-02%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)

 

In **General**, you can **Enable Custom Column** (described below) and turn on **AI Assist**, which provides [data interpretation](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/ai-assist-for-data-interpretation?hsLang=en) and [generates notes from prompts](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/adding-notes-with-ai-assist?hsLang=en). 

The **Default Data Entry Time Period** defines the first data entry row that appears when [entering data for a measure](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/2023-entering-data-values-and-target-values-for-a-measure?hsLang=en). The time period (such as April or Q2 or 2023) that contains this default date will be the first data entry row, though additional previous rows can be added. We recommend updating this setting for each reporting period, to ensure users start data entry correctly. Click **Save** after making any changes.

**Enable Custom Column** turns on an additional column for entering custom text, available for each result or program. 

![](https://support.clearimpact.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-07%20at%204-04-10%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=536&height=197&name=Screenshot%202025-11-07%20at%204-04-10%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)

 

When entering data for any measure XREF, the Custom Column is added, for entering the additional text or values.

The custom column itself, with its name, will appear in the [scorecard view](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/2023-viewing-a-scorecard?hsLang=en).

 

Back in **General Settings**, the next section is **Embed Settings**. Enabling **Show PDF Export Button** means the **PDF Export** button will appear on every scorecard, container, and measure [embed page](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/2023-embedding-scorecards-and-scorecard-objects?hsLang=en).

Enabling **Show Definition in Embed View** means the measure definition will appear on the measure embed views. If your measure definition contains sensitive information, it is recommended to not enable this option.
