Custom Message Configurations
Custom Message Configurations is an area where you can customize the Welcome Message, EULA and include a Field of View Custom message configurations enable the customization of the Welcome message, EULA and display a Field of View message in the head mounted device.
- Default Welcome Message – Toggling “User Override Allowed” enables the customization of the default Welcome message that appears when users log into the Manifest 3D application. There is a 180-character limit (note: this message will only be seen by users of the Manifest 3D application and is not available in other Manifest apps)
- Enterprise EULA – When the EULA is enabled, it will display on the Login page of the Manifest Web Application. In order to proceed with login, users must read and agree to the EULA. The EULA is independent of the Taqtile, Inc. EULA and is meant to be customized to suit the specific needs of each customer. An example would be if the information within the domain is privileged and confidential and users must agree to the terms before logging in

Authentication Configuration
The Authentication Configuration area provides users the ability to set up single sign-on services to make signing into the Manifest platform easier. For more information on the different authentication platforms Manifest supports, please check out the following articles:
- Authentication login using Microsoft Active Directory

- Authenticating login using Google Cloud OIDC
Server Configuration
The Server Configuration area provides you the ability to add your own STUN/TURN server credentials to use with Manifest Connect. Also, by default, Taqtile’s STUN/TURN server credentials should have been already set up, so you can use Manifest Connects audio/video calling features without any additional configuration.
IoT Settings
