# Settings

### **Introduction**

The **Settings** area is where you configure how Distance works for your team. These options define who can access the workspace, how conversations and tickets are handled, how notifications are delivered, and how external tools connect to Distance.

By tailoring these settings, you can align the platform with your operational workflows while keeping communication organized and predictable as usage grows.

### **Why Settings matter**

**Control access and responsibility.** Manage user profiles, passwords, and team membership.

**Customize workflows.** Define ticket assignment rules, pipeline stages, and automation behavior.

**Stay informed without overload.** Configure notifications so alerts reach the right people.

**Keep work organized.** Structure Inbox folders and ticket pipelines to match real workflows.

**Extend functionality.** Connect Distance with external tools to support your broader operations.

### **How Settings are organized**

**Settings** are grouped into focused sections, each responsible for a specific part of your workspace configuration.

[**Account tab**](/distance/getting-started/settings/account-tab.md) manages personal profile details, passwords, and ticket notification preferences.

[**Team tab**](/distance/getting-started/settings/team-tab.md) controls who has access to the workspace and who can receive ticket assignments.

[**Inbox tab**](/distance/getting-started/settings/inbox-tab.md) defines how conversations are organized using folders.

[**Tickets tab**](/distance/getting-started/settings/ticket-pipeline.md) handles ticket assignment rules, automation, and pipeline stages.

[**Notifications tab**](/distance/getting-started/settings/notifications-tab.md) determine how urgent alerts and workspace updates are delivered, including Slack and Microsoft Teams.

[**Integrations tab**](/distance/getting-started/settings/integrations-tab.md) connects Distance with external platforms to streamline data sync and workflows.

Together, these sections allow you to fine-tune how Distance operates, ensuring your workspace stays organized, secure, and aligned with how your team works.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://distance.gitbook.io/distance/getting-started/settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
