Platform/Network Configurations

Platform Configurations governs the setting of your account in general, including domains, IP, default notifications, and billing. We will review each section below.

General

General tab consists of 4 cards: General, Global Postback, Address, Links and Global Settings.

General Card

You will find the following settings on the General card:

  • Network Identifier: This is an identifier for your company that is used in your Global Postback. In the example shown below, the Network ID is dev-rev. This is also the identifier you will see in your default dashboard URL.

  • NID: This is often referred to as the "nid". Think of it as a numeric version of a Network ID and used frequently for tracking conversions. In the example shown above, the ID or NID is 3. This is also the identifier for your company that is used in your Global Postback.

  • Network Display Name: It is a crucial identifier that serves as the default name visible to you, your Partners, etc. and the "From" name in email notifications. For instance, if set to "The Best Account," all email notifications from this account will show "The Best Account," as the sender. You can tailor your branding and communication presentation across various interfaces and notifications.

  • Support Email: The primary email address associated with your Everflow instance.

    • By default, the email address displayed here will be the first network user added to the account (Network User ID 1), however, it can be edited.

    • By default, the email address displayed here will be linked in the Contact Support link on the Advertiser & Partner Login pages. You can disable the Contact Support link on the UI Customization tab.

  • Language: The language configured in your Everflow instance. Currently, English is the only language available.

  • Timezone: The timezone your Everflow instance is based on and reflected in reporting, unless otherwise specified.

  • Currency: The currency your Everflow instance reflects, unless otherwise specified. For more information on Currency Configurations - [Click Here]
