Base Address	The base address is the URL that users use to access the Gallery. The URL defaults to http://localhost/gallery/ which you can use to run the Gallery locally.
SMTP Server	SMTP host information is required for Gallery email notifications. Notifications and account validations are managed via email.
Alteryx Admin User	The Gallery administrator can manage users and workflows. A Default Gallery Admin is specified when configuring the authentication for the Gallery. Visit the Gallery Authentication help page to learn more about specifying a Default Gallery Admin.
Database type	Server configuration requires MongoDB. Embedded MongoDB For 2019.3 - 2021.3.5: MongoDB version 4.0 is embedded with Server 2019.3 - 2021.3.5. If you are using embedded MongoDB and upgrading from a version prior to 2018.1, you need to upgrade to a version between 2018.1-2019.2 before you upgrade to 2019.3.5. For 2021.3.6+: MongoDB version 4.2 is embedded with Server 2021.3.6+. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 2021.3.6, you must start with a version of Server that uses MongoDB 4.0 before you upgrade to 2021.3.6 version or higher. Versions of Server that use embedded MongoDB include 2019.3 through 2021.3.5. For embedded MongoDB, the host, username, and password are automatically generated. User-Managed MongoDB For 2021.3.1 - 2021.3.5: Server supports MongoDB versions 3.4, 4.0, and 4.0 Atlas. For Server 2021.3.6+: Server supports MongoDB versions 4.0, 4.2 and 4.4. For user-managed MongoDB, specify the host, username, and password from your MongoDB instance. If you were previously using SQLite for Alteryx Scheduler, jobs have to be manually re-scheduled when switching to MongoDB. For more information, visit the MongoDB Schema Reference help page.
