Publishing an Angle or Dashboard is only allowed if the assigned privilege labels originate from at least this number of label categories. The minimum is 1, because the default label category Business Process is mandatory.

Example: If you set the number of label categories to 2, users must assign at least 2 labels, and these labels must be in 2 different label categories.

The number of minutes after which the system will check if there are any inactive sessions.

Example: If you set this setting to 2 minutes and the 'Session timeout' to 5 minutes, the system will check every 2 minutes if a session has been inactive for more than 5 minutes.

The number of model instances that are kept in the database (as history). When this number of instances is reached, the import of a new instance will cause the instance with the oldest modeldata_timestamp to be automatically deleted. The minimum value is 1.

The time zone set by the user. When you update your time zone in this field, the timings set for all scheduled tasks are updated to your time zone. By default, all tasks are scheduled based on UTC, that is, GMT.

For example, if a task is scheduled at 13:00, it will be run at 1300 UTC by default. Now, if you update the Scheduling Time Zone to IST, the task will be run at 13:00 IST. Note that the time does not get adjusted to the updated time zone. So, 13:00 UTC is not changed to 18:30 IST.

​In the task page, by default, the time will be displayed as follows: ​GMT​​[​your time zone​​] ​

So, if your system is set to IST, the time displayed by default is: 13:00[18:30] ​

If you update the Scheduling Time Zone field to IST, the time will be displayed as IST only. ​ If you are in a region that follows Daylight Savings Time (DST), the Scheduling time zone will automatically get updated based on DST changes.
