The Config Key (Settings) ‘admin/settings/’ section in Paradigm’s admin panel allows syst administrators to modify parameters that impact all companies and users connected to the instance.

General

DEFAULT_LANGUAGE

Specifies the default language for the system interface and communications.
This affects:
  • The language of the invitation emails sent to new users
  • The password creation and login pages
  • The entire Paradigm user interface

    Default Value: en

DEFAULT_SUPPORT_EMAIL

Defines the instance-level default support email address.
This email is automatically pre-filled when a new company is created (in the admin Chat settings).
Properties
  • Default value: [email protected]
  • Required: Yes
  • Overridable: Yes, at company level by a company admin
How it works
  1. A system admin sets the support email in the instance configuration.
    → This value becomes the default support email.
  2. Whenever a new company is created, this email is pre-filled in the company admin’s Chat settings.
  3. When is it used?
    When a user clicks “Flag a bug” in the chat UI, the full bug report (context + details) is sent to the email defined in Chat settings.
  4. Company override (confidentiality use case)
    If a customer does not want bug reports to be sent to LightOn, a company admin can override the support email for their company.
    → In that case, bug reports are sent to the company-defined email instead of LightOn’s support address.

SUPPORT_URL

Specifies the URL where users can access help articles, tutorials, and documentation. Default Value: https://lighton.mintlify.app/en 🧭 Note: This support portal is powered by Mintlify, which provides a seamless documentation and onboarding experience.

Affects colors, fonts, and general visual presentation.

During migration, users can continue to use the platform, but some RAG and search functionalities may experience reduced performance. Default Value: False 🧭 Note: This parameter is typically managed by LightOn administrators during platform upgrades. When a migration is active, avoid uploading large volumes of documents or performing intensive search operations. Users will be notified when the migration is complete and full performance is restored. ⚠️ Warning: Do not manually enable this flag unless instructed by LightOn support, as it is automatically managed during embedding model updates.

Custom Script

Allows administrators to add or replace custom scripts in the HTML content of the Paradigm instance.
By default, this functionality integrates Product Fruits, a user onboarding and engagement platform.

Description

By default, LightOn includes Product Fruits, that:
  • Provides interactive onboarding for new users
  • Notifies users about new releases or maintenance periods
  • Offers contextual help to guide users during their first steps
  • Performs anonymous usage tracking to improve user experience and platform performance
