Overview

All company configuration lives under /settings. This guide walks through every settings page, who can change what, and the fields on each. Settings are scoped to the current company — if you manage multiple companies, switch company context first.

The left sidebar lists all 8 settings pages. Admin-only pages are marked.

Usage & Limits

Path: /settings/usage

Read-only dashboard showing your current consumption against your plan limits: tests per month, AI credits, and storage. You can drill down by site to see where usage is concentrated.

Who can change:Company Admin · Manager · Lab Admin · Super Admin (read-only for everyone)

AI Import

Path: /settings/ai-import

Controls how BioPortal handles the results the AI extracts from uploaded documents. Three controls: master enable toggle, approval mode, and the warning types that trigger manual review.

Approval mode, confidence threshold slider, and warning-type checklist

Approval mode

  • Auto-approve all — every result is approved immediately
  • Conditional (default) — auto-approve only when confidence is at or above the threshold AND no warning flags fired
  • Always require review — every result goes to the queue for manual approval

Confidence threshold

Slider from 0.0 to 1.0. Default 0.85 (85%). Higher = more manual review but fewer mistakes slipping through.

Warning types that trigger review

Checkboxes for: site mismatch, vessel mismatch, missing required field, validation error, date sequence error, duplicate lab number, low field confidence, low overall confidence. If any checked warning fires on a result, it goes to review regardless of the confidence threshold.

Email Ingestion

Path: /settings/email-ingestion

Every company gets a dedicated inbound address. Forward lab reports there (or have your lab send direct) and attachments feed into the same AI pipeline as manual uploads.

Copy the inbound address, manage the allowed-senders whitelist, and view rate limits
  • Inbound address — format: results-{slug}@submit.bioportal.io. Read-only, with a one-click copy button.
  • Allowed senders — a whitelist of email addresses. Empty list = allow all (not recommended for production).
  • Limits — 10 attachments per email, 10 MB per file, 100 emails per day. Contact support to raise limits.

Notification Preferences

Path: /settings/notifications

User-level toggles for email, SMS, and in-app notifications — plus per-type opt-ins (e.g. overdue schedules, result approved, new assignment). These are your preferences, not company-wide.

Who can change:Any signed-in user (personal preferences)

Billing & Payment

Paths: /settings/billing, /settings/billing/payment, /settings/billing/invoices

Billing

Current plan, subscription status, usage summary, and quick links to payment methods and invoices.

Payment Methods

Add, remove, or set a default credit card. Integrates with Stripe — cards are stored securely by Stripe, never on BioPortal.

Invoice History

Every past invoice with date, amount, and status. Download PDFs directly from Stripe.

Who can change:Company Admin · Super Admin · Customer Support (billing account owner required for payment methods)

Account Deletion

Path: /settings/account/delete

Request deletion of your personal account. Your data is soft-deleted immediately and permanently removed after a 30-day grace period. You can cancel the request at any time during that window to restore full access.

Sole admin protection
If you're the only Company Admin, you cannot delete your account until you either promote another admin or the company itself is closed. This prevents orphaned companies with no owner.

Lab-owned companies

Companies owned by a Lab Account (where ownedByLabAccountId is set) work slightly differently:

  • AI Import and Email Ingestion become read-only for Company Admins — only the owning Lab Admin (or Super Admin) can edit.
  • The company does not get its own billing account — the Lab Account covers all billing and usage.
  • The Lab Account's branding (logo, colours) replaces BioPortal branding in the header, footer, and page titles for all lab-owned companies.
How do I know if I'm lab-owned?
If your company was created by a Lab Admin, you'll see the lab's logo at the top of the app and certain settings will appear locked. Check with your Lab Admin for any changes in those sections.
