Configure Qodo using the portal

The Configurations page in the Qodo portal is organized into five tabs: Display, Workflow, Context, Remediation, and Prompts. Each tab groups related settings so you can quickly find and manage what you need. To access it, select Configurations from the left navigation menu in the Qodo portal.

​

Configuration levels: organization and repository

By default, settings on this page apply to all repositories connected to Qodo. Use the All repositories selector at the top left of the Configurations page to switch between two levels:

• Organization level (default): Settings apply to all connected repositories.
• Repository level: Settings apply only to the selected repository and override the organization-level defaults in the portal.

Click Save, located at the top right of the Configurations page, to apply your changes. A confirmation toast appears to let you know your changes were saved successfully. To restore settings, select Reset, next to Save. At the repository level, this resets the repository’s configuration to the organization’s settings. At the organization level, this resets to Qodo’s defaults. When you have unsaved changes, a Dismiss button appears next to Reset, showing the number of unsaved changes, for example Dismiss (1). Select it to discard those changes and revert to the last saved settings.

​

Display

The Display tab controls how findings and review comments are structured and presented in your pull requests: counters, labels, grouping, ordering, overflow behavior, per-finding content, comment structure, and notifications. Apply a preset for a ready-made configuration, or configure each setting individually.

​

Display presets

Presets let you quickly configure how findings and review comments appear to your team in pull requests, without setting each Display option individually. Choose a preset ranging from a lean, low-noise review to a comprehensive, information-rich one, or select Custom to configure each setting yourself. Changing any individual setting after selecting a preset switches the selection to Custom.
