About languages

BlueMind is currently translated and being translated into several languages. You can view the available languages and their progress on the app's translation website: https://forge.blue-mind.net/translate/

Setting the default startup app​

Still in the general section of preferences, under Default application you can choose the app that will open by default when you start BlueMind.

Creating Tags​

Tags are keywords that can be added to contacts or events to help organize and find them quickly.

info

Domain tags -- created by your administrator -- cannot be edited.

To add a personal tag, go to "+ Create a tag" and

  • enter a name
  • choose a color (by default, an available color is suggested)
  • click Create

Click to edit and to delete a tag.

Managing passwords and API keys​

To change your password and generate an API key, go to the Security tab.

API keys can be used to connect to a user account without using the account login password. In particular, they enable you to connect an external service without having to provide it with the user password, and to revoke access at any time by deleting the key.

To create a key:

  • click on the "Generate API key" button
  • enter a name to identify the use of the key (for example, the name of the service or site for which it will be used):
  • click on "Create". The key is immediately created and added to the user's key list:

:::tip Number of keys per user

There is no limit to the number of keys, and each user can create as many as he or she wishes.

Managing local data and notifications​

The "+ Advanced" tab in your account settings can be used to Reset local application data as well as Enable notifications.

When notifications are enabled, an alert will be displayed on your screen when you get a new message or have an event reminder.
