Make your collection private

If you are handling sensitive information or you just want your collection to be accessible only via login, you can configure Uwazi to do so.

1. Click on Settings
2. Click on Collection
3. Click the checkbox to make the instance private

By activating this option, your information will not be crawled by search engines, and users will be prompted with a login screen when trying to access your documents or entities.

Set your landing page

The landing page is the first thing users will see when visiting your Uwazi instance. By default, your landing page is the Library, without any filter applied and a list with all documents and entities.

However, you can use any page from your Uwazi instance as a landing page by copying and pasting the URL on the text box below the custom page. These are some examples:

• A static page: /page/dicxg0oagy3xgr7ixef80k9
• A library query: /library/?searchTerm=test
• A document or entity: /document/4y9i99fadjp833di /entity/9htbkgpkyy7j5rk9

Always use URLs relative to your site, starting with / and skipping the https://yoursite.com.

Track web analytics

Uwazi supports both Google Analytics and Matomo so that you can track your collection visits.

(If you are hosting your Uwazi with HURIDOCS, we provide Matomo as part of the hosting. Please contact us in order to activate your account.)

Find your unique ID (for example, if you want to use Google Analytics ID to track website visits).

Add your to Uwazi under Settings, then click Collection.

Mailer configuration

This is a JSON configuration object that should match the options values required by Nodemailer, as explained here.

This setting takes precedence over all other mailer configuration. If left blank, then the configuration file in /api/config/mailer.js will be used.

Google Analytics

You can use Google Analytics to track website visits by adding your Google Analytics ID to Uwazi under Settings > Collection.

Custom header

Sadly is not possible to edit your header from Settings right now, but we will work to make it available soon. Meanwhile, you can create an issue and we will customise the header background image for you.

Requirements:

• Your logotype in PNG format (transparent background) and 72px height. Width is not fixed, but limited to 288px, so you can play until that size.
• Your brand colour to change the header background.

We will upload all the changes it for you once you have the final design.

Our partner CEJIL is a great example of landing page and header customization.
