 We are excited to introduce the Settings page, a new centralized, intuitive space designed to give you complete control over your HCL UnO environment. Whether you are an end user personalizing your workspace or an administrator managing system-wide behavior, the Settings experience brings everything together into a single, powerful hub. From UI customization to advanced system policies, the Settings page streamlines configuration, improves usability and makes everyday management more efficient. Explore the new experience To get started: 1. Open the user menu in the top-right corner. 2. Click Settings From there, you will have everything you need to personalize your experience and control your system, all in one place. A structured and role-aware experience The Settings page is organized into clearly defined sections, enabling you to easily navigate and manage different aspects of your environment. Depending on your permissions, you will see up to three main sections:
Personal section: Tailor your experience The Personal section is designed to help you make the environment truly your own. Here, you can explore your account information, including name, user ID and group memberships or customize your UI preferences, adjusting font and row size, time zone and display format, theme (for a look and feel that matches your style). And finally you can manage your own API keys.   System section: Centralized control for administrators For administrators, the System section acts as a powerful command center to configure and optimize the entire environment. Auditing: track and control changes Administrators can configure auditing to maintain visibility and accountability across the system, defining how long audit data is retained and enabling justification requirements for changes, such as ticket numbers, descriptions, or categories. This ensures full traceability and supports compliance requirements.  Scheduler: control monitoring frequency The scheduler enables you to define how frequently the system performs endpoint monitoring by setting the minimum monitoring frequency and how often the system checks for endpoints to monitor. This helps align monitoring activity with performance and responsiveness needs. Metrics: manage data retention With metrics settings, you can control how long metric data is stored and ensure that older data is automatically removed once the retention threshold is reached, balancing historical visibility with storage efficiency. Workload Orchestration: fine-tune execution Orchestration settings let you control how workflows behave and scale by defining the maximum number of nested workflows, setting undo time limits for user actions, and customizing email templates for task creation and assignment, improving both performance and user interaction. Planning: optimize performance and lifecycle Planning settings enable you to define the active processing window, control how far in advance workflows are generated, and configure retention policies for completed and failed tasks, giving you precise control over system efficiency and data lifecycle. GenAI: configure UnO AI Pilot behavior Administrators can manage the behavior of the UnO AI Pilot by setting limits on conversational memory and controlling the number of automated actions it can perform, both with and without user interaction. Tenant management (multitenant only) In multitenant environments, you can configure tenant-specific properties such as tenant name and display name, define allowed user domains and access the tenant removal token when needed. Timing and expiration: define lifecycles Timing and expiration settings enable you to configure lifecycle policies for key elements, including API key expiration and group cache duration, helping enforce security policies and keep cached data up to date. Security section: Manage access and permissions The Security section provides full control over access management and system security, enabling administrators to define exactly what users can do and access. From here, you can create and manage roles, defining them as Administrator or Standard and assigning permissions across system items. Existing roles can be easily edited, copied or deleted and for more advanced use cases, roles can also be managed via the CLI.  You can also configure Access Control Lists (ACLs) to define precisely who can access specific resources. ACLs can be created with tailored permissions and existing configurations can be filtered, updated or duplicated as needed, making it easier to maintain consistent access rules across the system.  In addition, the security section enables managing API keys used for engine connections and Orchestration CLI authentication. Administrators can create and organize API keys, define their type and usage and revoke access at any time to ensure security and control.  Conclusion The Settings page brings together personalization, system configuration and security management into a single, consistent experience. By centralizing these capabilities and making them easier to access and configure, it helps both users and administrators work more efficiently and with greater control. Whether you are customizing your workspace or managing complex system behaviors, the Settings page provides a clear and flexible way to adapt the environment to your needs  Maria Elena Massino, Senior Software Engineer Maria Elena Massino is a Senior Software Engineer in the Workload Automation development team located in HCL Rome Hub.
