Remote SMART Migration Server

This section names the SMART Migration server that runs the jobs, as it last reported itself.

Field	What it shows
Server Name	The machine the SMART Migration server runs on.
Version	The SMART Migration version that server reported.
Last contact	When the server last called the app.
Version required by this app	The SMART Migration version this app needs. Only the first two parts are compared; the last part is the build number.
License Key	The licence key the server activated.
Expiration Date	When that licence expires.

Reset server status clears the server name, version and last contact, so the app shows that no server has been in touch until one calls again — for example after the server was moved to another machine.

When the server's version does not match Version required by this app, jobs do not run until the two match. See Set up SMART Migration for the app

Under the licence key, SMART Migration Server explains, in short, how the server and the app work together: the server comes to the app every few seconds, runs at most four jobs at a time, connects to the sources itself, and feeds the reporting database. See How SMART Migration and the app work together

Who can use the app

Groups that may use the app lists the Nextcloud groups whose members may use the app, besides every administrator — the project team, consultants included, with no administrator rights elsewhere in Nextcloud. Pick the groups and click Save; with none chosen, only administrators can use the app. Only an administrator changes the list; everyone else sees it. See Set up the project team and Working together: what is shared and what is yours

Language, theme and colours

Interface language follows each administrator's Nextcloud language by default. Each language is listed with its flag. Choosing a language here sets it for this app only, and only for you — every administrator picks their own — and does not change your Nextcloud language. The page reloads when you change it. The app speaks English, Deutsch, Français and Nederlands; with any other Nextcloud language it shows English. The language button at the far right of the Dashboard's tab bar sets the same choice. See Dashboard

The theme follows your Nextcloud theme by default. Pick another for this app only, and only for you — Nextcloud and its other apps keep your own theme — and it applies at once:

Follow my Nextcloud theme — the theme set in your Nextcloud personal settings.
Follow the browser setting — the light or dark mode of your computer, as the browser reports it, followed as it changes.
Light or Dark — that theme, whatever Nextcloud and the computer use.

The theme button at the far right of the Dashboard's tab bar sets the same choice.

The colours are every administrator's own choice, and apply to the light and the dark theme alike:

Standard colours

The app's own colours.

Colour-blind friendly

Statuses, job modes, sources and success, warning and error messages in colours that stay apart for red-green and blue-yellow colour blindness.

Black and white, high contrast

No colour at all: black, white and greys at high contrast. Statuses and modes are still written out.

AI Help

Let Claude AI answer questions in the help panel switches AI Help on or off for everyone on this instance; only an administrator can change it. Switching it on is your own consent too; every other administrator ticks the consent box in their help panel before their first question is sent. Switched off, the help panel offers only the online documentation. See Help panel and AI Help

Microsoft OneDrive for Business (M365) Discovery and Migration

A job that reads from a OneDrive names its user by their UPN, such as sj@abc.com, but Microsoft 365 builds the address of that user's OneDrive from the tenant's SharePoint domain, not from the e-mail domain in the UPN. The two often differ — after a company rename, a merger, or when a custom e-mail domain is in use — so the app needs a mapping:

Map From — the e-mail domain used in the UPNs, for example abc.com.
Map To — your SharePoint and OneDrive tenant name, as the hint under the field describes.

The Example under the fields shows, as you type, the OneDrive address a job for one user would resolve to. It is calculated in your browser only: the app never contacts Microsoft 365 to check it. Compare it with the address of a real OneDrive in your tenant before you save. Read more in OneDrive to Nextcloud

MetaVox

MetaVox is a separate Nextcloud app that gives Team Folders the metadata columns a SharePoint library has. This section shows whether it is installed and enabled, and offers to install or enable it from Nextcloud's own Apps page where this Nextcloud allows it. See Metadata, MetaVox and SharePoint views

Notifications

Whom a job's notifications go to is not set here but on each job: the Nextcloud users and groups in Notify to, under Notifications in the Job step of the job dialog — a new job starts with the administrator creating it. Nextcloud delivers them to the bell, as browser and phone push, and by email for each one who turns on email reminders.

Show a toast when a run starts or finishes, or reports its first error or warning is every administrator's own choice, and it is off until you switch it on. Switched off, the page stops asking what SMART Migration is doing; Run History and the Dashboard still show every run. The notification that SMART BI.pbix was updated is shown either way.

Log retention

Log retention chooses how long the Log on the Dashboard keeps what happened to the jobs and runs: a week, a month — until someone chooses — three or six months, a year, or for ever. Every hour, the server deletes the rows older than that, inside Nextcloud. The choice is shared by every administrator, and the Log records who changed it.

Hidden messages

Some messages in the app carry a Do not show this again box. Ticking it hides that message for you alone: every other administrator still sees it. Tips, such as the one under the Jobs table, have an × instead, which does the same. Show hidden messages again brings back every message and tip you hid — when you hid one by mistake, or want to read the explanations again. Other administrators' hidden messages stay as they are.

Getting Started, the start tip and the BI architecture

Once the Getting Started tab or the start tip at the top of the Dashboard has been closed, a last section appears here: Reopen Getting Started brings the tab back, and Reopen the start tip brings the tip back, side by side. Closing either shows a notification that leads straight to this section.

The Business Intelligence section of the Dashboard — what SMART BI.pbix is, how it is made and where its data comes from — is hidden until you ask for it, so this section also offers Show the BI architecture while it is hidden: it shows the section and opens the Dashboard on it. The Architecture link beside Power BI on the Dashboard does the same. See Dashboard

Each is your own: closing, reopening or showing it changes nothing for the other administrators.
