Settings

/settings is the general section; every other section is /settings/<section>, and security has its own subsections at /settings/security/<subsection>.

Settings are one model and one form, parameterised per section, rather than a page hand-rolled per topic. The rail, the mobile menu and the route table are all generated from the same registry, so a link can never exist in one and not the others.

Settings worth knowing about

General carries the workspace display name, the time zone, language and formatting, measurement units, the first day of the week, and where sign-in lands.

Laboratory carries the registered legal name, the licence number, the accession prefix and check-digit setting, and whether the laboratory accepts specimens from other sites.

Administration decides who may invite a colleague, the default role for an invited user, the inactivity sign-out, and whether bulk export of patient data is allowed.

Two-factor authentication is real. Enrolling an authenticator app produces a genuine TOTP factor on your account, verified before it is active, and it can be removed the same way.

Forced password rotation is off, deliberately. Rotation makes people pick a weaker password with a number on the end and write it down; length and a second factor do more than a calendar does.

:::note Where the security surface is honest about itself LabFlow's own sign-in is Google only, so a mistyped password is refused by Google before this product sees anything — there is no failed sign-in here for it to report. Several controls in this area say plainly that they are not finished: recovery codes are not issued yet, security keys are not registrable yet, and a per-device list is not available. A session is not a device, and the page says so rather than implying otherwise. :::

Sections whose subject is not built

Some sections in the rail describe areas that later waves deliver — Plan and billing, Integrations and Administration among them. The settings surface is built; what those settings will govern is on the roadmap.
