Other customization options

This section contains information on options other than changing the server's name or icon. Once you've accessed the Server Overview section, the following options appear.

• Inactive Channel - Allows you to select a server where you may send members after a specified time of inactivity. Essentially, this creates an area for idle channel users.

• System Messages Channel - Allows you to designate the channel where channel messages appear. You may then use the toggle switches to customize which messages generate automatically.
• Default Notification Settings - Choose whether or not server members receive notifications for every message or only @ messages (if they haven't already chosen notification settings for their account).
• Display - Allows you to toggle the Boost progress bar, and server invite and banner backgrounds.

When finished making adjustments to the server's settings, click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen.
