# Settings & personalization

> Tune the board's look and behavior — per person or store-wide.

Settings let you shape how the board looks and behaves. Most settings can be set **per person** or locked **store-wide**, so individuals can tailor their own view while you keep the essentials consistent for everyone.

## Per-user vs. store-wide

Each group of settings has a scope:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Per user" icon="user">
    Each person's choice applies only to them — great for theme or card density, which come down to personal preference and the screen they're on.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Store-wide" icon="lock">
    Lock a group and your choice applies to everyone, overriding personal settings — great for keeping the whole floor consistent.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Changes save automatically as you make them.

## What you can set

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="General" icon="list">
    Your default view (all orders, unfulfilled only, or in progress), whether to show **all unfulfilled** orders regardless of date, and whether to show the **auto-complete prompt** when an order's last item is finished.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Appearance" icon="palette">
    **Theme** (light, dark, or match the device), **card density** (compact or comfortable), and which **fields** show on each order card — customer name, order number, order time, product names, quantities, delivery address, phone, email, pickup time, order note, and prep notes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Notifications" icon="bell">
    Play a **sound on new orders**, play a **due-time warning sound**, and set how many **minutes ahead** to warn (15 by default). See [Sequencing & due times](/board/sequencing).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Prep stations" icon="grip">
    Turn **prep stations** on or off and choose your grouping (by product type or collection). See [Set up prep stations](/config/prep-stations). *(Advanced and Professional plans.)*
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Account" icon="rotate-left">
    Reset all settings back to their defaults if you want a clean slate.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Tip>
  Set the fields on the card to just what your floor uses. A card with only the customer, items, and due time is faster to read across the room than one crammed with everything.
