1. From the |RCE| interface, select :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Global`
2. To add a tracking code to you instance, enter it in the header or footer section and select Save

Use the example templates in the drop-down menu to set up your configuration.

Licence Key Management

To manage your license key, go to :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> License`. On this page you can see the license key details. If you need a new license, or have questions about your current one, contact support@rhodecode.com

Server-wide Announcements

If you need to make a server-wide announcement to all users, you can add a message to be displayed using the following steps:

1. From the |RCE| interface, select :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Global`
2. To add a message that will be displayed to all users, select :guilabel:`Server Announcement` from the drop-down menu and change the var message = "TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE"; example line.
3. Select :guilabel:`Save`, and you will see the message once your page refreshes.

Markdown or RST Rendering

|RCE| can use Markdown or reStructured Text in commit message, code review messages, and inline comments. To set the default to either, select your preference from the drop-down menu on the :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Visual` page and select :guilabel:`Save settings`.

Enabling Repository Statistics

To enable |repo| statistics, use the following steps:

1. From the |RCE| interface, open :menuselection:`Admin --> Repositories` and select :guilabel:`Edit` beside the |repo| for which you wish to enable statistics.
2. Check the :guilabel:`Enable statistics` box, and select :guilabel:`Save`

Enabling Server-side Merging

To enable server-side merging, use the following steps:

1. From the |RCE| interface, open :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> VCS`
2. Check the :guilabel:`Server-side merge` box, and select :guilabel:`Save Settings`

If you encounter slow performance with server-side merging enabled, check the speed at which your server is performing actions. When server-side merging is enabled, the following actions occurs on the server.

• A |pr| is created in the database.
• A shadow |repo| is created as a working environment for the |pr|.
• On display, |RCE| checks if the |pr| can be merged.

To check how fast the shadow |repo| creation is occurring on your server, use the following steps:

1. Log into your server and create a directory in your |repos| folder.
2. Clone a |repo| that is showing slow performance and time the action.

# One option is to use the time command
$ time hg clone SOURCE_REPO TARGET

Remap and Rescan Repositories

You may want to Remap and rescan the |repos| that |RCE| is managing to ensure the system is always up-to-date. This is useful after importing, deleting, or carrying out general cleaning up operations. To do this use the following steps:

1. From the |RCE|, open :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Remap and rescan`
2. Click :guilabel:`Rescan Repositories`

Check the additional options if needed:

• :guilabel:`Destroy old data`: Useful for purging deleted repository information from the database.
• :guilabel:`Invalidate cache for all repositories`: Use this to completely remap all |repos|. Useful when importing or migrating |repos| to ensure all new information is picked up.

Adding Custom Hooks

To add custom hooks to your instance, use the following steps:

1. Open :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Hooks`
2. Add your custom hook details, you can use a file path to specify custom hook scripts, for example: python:/path/to/custom_hook.py
3. Select :guilabel:`Save`

Also, see the |RC| Extensions section of the :ref:`rc-tools` guide. |RC| Extensions can be used to add additional hooks to your instance and comes with a number of pre-built plugins if you chose to install them.

Clearing |repo| cache

If you need to clear the cache for a particular |repo|, use the following steps:

1. Open :menuselection:`Admin --> Repositories` and select :guilabel:`Edit` beside the |repo| whose cache you wish to clear.
2. On the |repo| settings page, go to the :guilabel:`Caches` tab and select :guilabel:`Invalidate repository cache`.

Changing Default Language

To change the default language of a |RCE| instance, change the language code in the :file:`/home/{user}/.rccontrol/{instance-id}/rhodecode.ini` file. To do this, use the following steps.

1. Open the :file:`rhodecode.ini` file and set the required language code.

## Optional Languages
## en(default), de, fr, it, ja, pl, pt, ru, zh
lang = de

2. Restart the |RCE| instance and check that the language has been updated.

$ rccontrol restart enterprise-2
Instance "enterprise-2" successfully stopped.
Instance "enterprise-2" successfully started.

Setting Repositories to Publish

To automatically promote your local |repos| to public after pushing to |RCE|, enable the :guilabel:`Set repositories as publishing` option on the :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> VCS` page.
