Identify application settings

[orvn]

In addition to the model for projects/entities, a data structure is needed to set parameters around the application's functionality.

This should be extensible, and should include a list of required settings.

Some of the settings that will be proposed in this issue will be quality-of-life in nature; i.e., they won't be absolutely necessary for this instance of the project (however, it's good to think of them in advance to ensure the most extensibility).

@jessicaschilling: Some of these are simple checkers to enable/disable a feature we're already building. Those should be pretty straightforward. Others are more of an extension of the app for forking/future-proofing.

I don't know how many of these we'll have time to implement, but I'm writing them out as we've been thinking of them (the list below also covers the topics we've discussed on our calls with you, as well as within the development process).

I'll add a few more after doing a once-over of the app, and then I'm thinking we can convert them into checkboxes and you can check off which ones you feel are absolutely critical?

  • The name for a singular entity (default = project)

---

• Setting: Primary category
  • In operations where only one category must be used, which one should be treated as primary? This specifically applies to the segment chart
