The Analytics Settings provide access to account-related settings. The Default Reporting Time Zone is used to calculate day boundaries for reporting data. Changing the reporting time zone setting only affects data going forward, and changes are not applied retroactively. If you change this setting, you may see a flat spot or a spike in your analytics data when looking at day boundaries where the change was applied. Updates to this setting may not take effect immediately and analytics data may continue to refer to the old setting until the system processes the changes.
Default to Inactive - When checked, sets all uploaded videos to be inactive. This option is ignored if the user has access to the Media module. This could be used to let a set of users upload videos but they will remain inactive until someone else approves them and then makes them active.
Required Fields - Select an option for how required fields are handled:
