Organization Settings
Configure your Dictiva workspace — organization profile, user preferences, domain selection, language, and security settings.
Tailoring Your Workspace
Every Dictiva workspace is a self-contained tenant with its own settings, users, and governance data. The Settings area lets you configure how your workspace looks, what content it includes, and how your team interacts with the platform.
Navigate to Settings in the sidebar to access all configuration options.
Organization Profile
The organization profile sets your workspace identity:
- Organization Name — Displayed in the header and on exported documents
- Slug — Your workspace identifier in URLs (set during onboarding, rarely changed)
- Logo — Appears on published assemblies and PDF exports
Only Owners and Admins can modify the organization profile.
Domain Selection
Governance domains control which content from the library appears in your workspace. Dictiva organizes its 10,000+ governance statements across 32 domains — from Data Governance and Information Security to Privacy, Risk Management, and Business Continuity.
How Domain Selection Works
Your plan tier determines how many domains you can select:
| Plan | Domains |
|---|---|
| Community | 1 |
| Professional | 2 |
| Business | 5 |
| Enterprise | Unlimited |
When you select a domain, library content in that domain becomes available for preview. Professional and higher plans can adopt unlocked library statements from selected domains, while statements outside your selected domains remain hidden from the library view.
To change your domains:
- Go to Settings > Domains
- Check or uncheck domains
- Click Save
Changes take effect within a few minutes as the content cache refreshes.
Language & Locale
Dictiva supports 8 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Swedish, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese. The platform uses a layered locale resolution:
- URL path — An explicit locale in the URL (e.g.,
/es/dashboard) takes highest priority - User preference — Each user can set their preferred language in Settings > Preferences
- Tenant default — The organization-wide language set by an Admin
- Fallback — English
Setting Your Preferred Language
- Go to Settings > Preferences
- Select your language from the dropdown
- Click Save
The interface, navigation, and system messages switch immediately. Governance content (statements, assemblies) remains in its authored language — Dictiva does not auto-translate user-created content.
Security Settings
Email Allowlist
Restrict who can join your workspace by email domain. When enabled, only users with email addresses matching your allowlist can accept invitations or sign up.
- Go to Settings > Security
- Add allowed email domains (e.g.,
yourcompany.com) - Save
This is especially useful for Enterprise tenants who want to prevent personal email addresses from accessing governance data.
Authentication
Dictiva uses passwordless authentication by default — users sign in via magic links sent to their email. Password-based authentication is available as a fallback. SSO via SAML is available on the Business and Enterprise plans.
User Preferences
Each user can customize their own experience without affecting the workspace:
| Setting | Options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Language | en, es, fr, de, sv, it, zh | Tenant default |
| Theme | Light, Dark, System | System |
| Notifications | Email alerts for approvals, assignments, deadlines | All enabled |
Preferences are accessed via Settings > Preferences and apply only to the logged-in user.
Onboarding Progress
New workspaces display an onboarding wizard that tracks setup progress:
- Name your organization
- Select governance domains
- Invite team members
- Adopt your first library statements
- Create your first assembly
The wizard appears on the Dashboard until all steps are completed. Each step links to the relevant section of the platform. You can dismiss it at any time and return to it later.
