This guide documents how to configure some advanced workspaces in Adverity.
Introduction#

Appearance#
In this section, you can update the logo and logo brand color of your workspace.
- Logo
Change the logo you use in Adverity. This logo appears in the top left corner of Adverity, next to the workspace name.
The logo must be less than 20 MB in size, and in one of the following file formats: PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG, XML.
To add or change the logo, click Choose file and select the file you want to use.
To remove the logo, select the Clear checkbox next to the file name.
- Logo brand color
Enter the HEX code of the brand color or select the color of your choice from the color picker.
Datastream defaults#
In this section, you can configure default settings for new datastreams. You can apply different configuration for individual datastreams later.
- Default for extract filenames
Select a default Extract filenames configuration for new datastreams.
- Select one of the following options:
Unique by fetch - choose this option to create one data extract for all data collected during a fetch.
Unique by day - choose this option to create a different data extract for each day of the time range specified in a fetch. The date is determined by the column set as a Key date column for the datastream. Use this option to ensure that the data collected by the datastream is distinct and there are no duplicate rows.
Grace Period#
The grace period determines how long data extracts that are marked for deletion are kept in Adverity before being permanently deleted. By default, data extracts that are scheduled to be deleted are kept for 30 days and are then deleted. To extend or reduce this grace period, configure the following fields:
- Override default grace period
Select this checkbox to edit the grace period.
- Grace period
After selecting the checkbox above, enter the new number of days for the grace period.
