SettingDescription
Base URLThe URL by which the YouTrack server is accessible to the end-users.  This URL is generally used for constructing links in notifications, reports, RSS feeds, and for the bookmarklet. You can either enter the server URL yourself, or click the Guess URL link let YouTrack try to set the URL automatically.
Allow statistics collectionThis setting enables the collection of usage data to share with JetBrains. Keep this option selected to help us make YouTrack better. We never share collected data with any third party.
Max Upload File SizeThe maximum file size allowed for uploaded attachments, in bytes. By default, the maximum allowed file size is 10Mb (10485760 bytes).
Max ordered issuesYouTrack allows users to re-order issues on the Issues list manually. Users can drag issues in the list and place them in order they see fit. This custom order is saved in a so-called "watch folder", which can be a search query, saved search, tag, project or search context. The Max ordered issues parameter limits the number of issues in the list for which a custom order is set when a user accesses the "watch folder". If you have manually ordered the issues in a saved search, you see up to this number of ordered issues at the top of the list. All other issues that match the saved search are then displayed from newest to oldest.
Max Issues to ExportThe maximum number of issues to be exported as HTML or CSV, or to be exported for printing. By default, the limit is set to 500 issues. To change it, just enter a new value.

Visual

The Visual section provides options that let you manage system settings related to the visual presentation in YouTrack.

SettingDescription

In addition to the general REST API, we provide support for cross-origin resource sharing, or CORS. CORS support lets you enable Java-script access to your YouTrack instance. For more information, read about cross-origin resource sharing on Wikipedia.
You can also download samples of CORS usage here: https://github.com/vadimgurov/youtrack-cors-samples.
