Troubleshooting: Incorrect Default Team or Profile Settings Applying

Problem​

User profile settings are not working as expected:

  1. Logging in directs the user to the wrong team, not their selected Default Team.
  2. Manually uploaded documents are not automatically coded with the user's configured Default Coding (Subsidiary/Location) for the current team.

Common Causes​

Incorrect Default Team​

  1. No Default Team Set: The user hasn't selected a default team in their profile settings. Zudello may default to the first team in their list or the last one accessed.
  2. Default Set for Wrong Team: The "Is default team for user" toggle was enabled for the wrong team within the user's profile settings (remember, settings are per-team).
  3. Configuration Not Saved: Changes made to the default team setting were not saved correctly (Update button not clicked).
  4. Caching Issues: Browser cache might be loading outdated session information.

Incorrect Default Coding​

  1. Defaults Not Configured: Default Subsidiary and/or Location were not selected for the specific team the user is currently working in (Profile > Team settings).
  2. Configuration Not Saved: Changes made to default coding settings were not saved.
  3. Document Not Manually Uploaded: Default coding only applies automatically to documents manually uploaded via the UI (drag-and-drop or "New..." button). It does not apply to emailed documents or documents created via integration/API.
  4. Inbox Defaults Override: If an Inbox has default Subsidiary/Location configured, those defaults take precedence for documents arriving via that specific inbox address, overriding the user's profile defaults.
  5. Fields Already Populated: If the Subsidiary/Location fields are populated during extraction or by other rules (like Keyword Coding) before user defaults are applied, the user defaults will be skipped for those fields.

Troubleshooting Steps​

Incorrect Default Team​

  1. Verify Default Team Setting:
    • Ask the user to go to Profile > Default Settings.
    • Select the intended default team from the Team settings dropdown.
    • Ensure the Is default team for user toggle is ON for that team.
    • Ensure the toggle is OFF for all other teams in the dropdown.
    • Click Update.
  2. Clear Cache/Try Incognito: Ask the user to log out, clear their browser cache and cookies, or try logging in via an incognito/private window.
  3. Admin Check (Admin Task): An administrator can verify and set the default team via Organisation Settings > Users > Edit User > Team settings > Default Settings.

Incorrect Default Coding​

  1. Verify Default Coding Settings:
    • Ask the user to go to Profile > Default Settings.
    • Select the team they were working in when the default coding failed to apply from the Team settings dropdown.
    • Check if the desired Subsidiary and Location are selected in the default coding section. Select them if needed.
    • Click Update.
  2. Confirm Upload Method: Was the document manually uploaded via the UI? Default coding does not apply to emailed documents.
  3. Check Inbox Configuration (Admin Task): If the document was emailed, go to Settings > Mailboxes. Check if the receiving inbox has default Subsidiary/Location configured, as these override user defaults.
  4. Check Other Rules: Review Keyword Coding rules or Enrichment logic. Could another rule be populating the Subsidiary/Location fields before the user default applies?
  5. Test with New Upload: Manually upload a new test document into the correct team after verifying the settings. Does default coding apply correctly now?

Need Help?​

If default settings are still not applying correctly, contact Zudello support. Provide:

  • The user's email address.
  • The name of the expected default team or the team where default coding failed.
  • Screenshots of the user's profile settings (Default Team toggle, Default Coding selections).
  • For coding issues, the Document UUID and confirmation of the upload method.
