System parameters
System parameters are predefined parameters that control various aspects of the product’s operation. They can be numeric, true / false (Boolean), text or image type.
Some clarifications about the list:
If the parameter information’s row is grayed out, it means that the parameter is read-only and cannot be edited.
Clicking on the information icon “i” will display a description of the parameter’s purpose. Click anywhere on the list to close it.
To edit any parameter that allows it, click on it and then on the edit button. A panel will open to edit its value.
For example, you can change Qflow Task’s theme.

Then, Qflow Task will be customized with the black color:

Another parameter that can be edited is the required protection comment for Qflow Design. To edit packages or flow templates, they must be checked out and then checked in again to save any changes.
Each time this action is performed, by default, Qflow asks for a comment to be entered. However, the mandatory required comment can be disabled within the system parameters.

Statistics
Within the “Statistics” section, the site displays the usage of Qflow There are two tabs within the section, one showing “Q-points usage” and the other showing “Usage history”.
If we are working from the default workspace, we will see a dropdown list in the top right corner of the section. This will allow us to select from all existing workspaces and view statistics for each one of them. For workspaces other than the default one, only their own consumption statistics will be shown.

The various charts show data grouped in different ways. You can view you can view the data by the current day or by month.
