# Basic Settings

Basic Settings holds the instance-wide values that tell JumpServer how to
address itself and which extra links to expose in the navigation bar. Configure
it once after deployment and review it whenever the external URL of the platform
changes.

## Overview

The site URL is not inferred from the browser request that happens to reach the
server. It is stored as a setting and reused wherever JumpServer must build a
link that a person will open outside the console, such as password setup emails,
authorization reminders, and alert notifications. If the value is wrong, those
links point to the wrong host and users cannot complete the action.

Navigation entries extend the help menu in the top navigation bar so that users
can reach your own documentation or support portal without leaving the product.

## Field reference

| Field        | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Site URL     | External base URL of the deployment. Used to build clickable links in notification emails and other generated messages. Include the scheme, and include the URL prefix if the console is served under one. |
| Document URL | Documentation link shown in the navigation bar. Leave it empty to hide the entry.                                                                                                                          |
| Support URL  | Support link shown in the navigation bar. Leave it empty to hide the entry.                                                                                                                                |


Note

Use the external URL that users actually open, not the internal IP address of
the Core container. Behind a reverse proxy, the value must include the proxy
host name and any path prefix that is part of the public address.

## Notes

- The Site URL is required for features that send links by email. Confirm it
  before you configure the email service on the
  [Notifications](https://www.jumpserver.com/docs/features/system-settings/general/notifications.md) page.
- The navigation links are display-only entries. They are opened in a new
  browser tab and do not affect authentication or authorization.
- Basic Settings is global. It is visible to system administrators and is not
  scoped to an organization.
