Elation’s Settings section includes everything that you can configure to customize your Elation account.

Our settings are grouped into 3 categories:

  1. User Settings: Configurations that affect your own user account 
  2. Practice Settings: Configurations that affect all users in the practice
  3. Admin Settings: Configurations that affect all users in the practice but can only be edited by admin-level users

Below is a short-list of settings that we recommend updating as soon as possible. You can personally perform these edits or delegate them to other members of your team. Doing so will ensure that your experience on Elation feels more personalized to your practice. Click each page name to access the corresponding help center article.

Please note, this list is not meant to be exhaustive! It’s a good starting point, but please also review the other settings pages in Elation at your convenience.
