# Setting

## Set the .env delegation variable

```shell
# ========== DELEGATION ==============
## Active the delegate feature for service / proposal / release / review (the proposal validation won't be delegate)
NEXT_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_DELEGATE=true

## Active the delegate feature for minting ID - will call a backend api and call the smartcontract function mintForAddress
NEXT_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_DELEGATE_MINT=true

## This seed phrase is only used for delegate purpose
NEXT_PRIVATE_DELEGATE_SEED_PHRASE="add you seed phrase here only for delegate purpose"

## Public address
NEXT_PUBLIC_DELEGATE_ADDRESS="0xaddyouraddresshereonlyfordelegatepurpose"
```

```sh
NEXT_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_DELEGATE=true
```

The `NEXT_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_DELEGATE` variable will display the activation button in the settings dashboard, allowing users to activate and deactivate the delegation feature.

```sh
NEXT_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_DELEGATE_MINT=true
```

The `NEXT_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_DELEGATE_MINT` variable will enable users to mint their TalentLayerID without incurring any fees.

```sh
NEXT_PRIVATE_DELEGATE_SEED_PHRASE="add you seed phrase here only for delegate purpose"
```

The `NEXT_PRIVATE_DELEGATE_SEED_PHRASE` is required to pay the fees for the user's actions. The wallet should be used exclusively for delegation purposes.

```sh
NEXT_PUBLIC_DELEGATE_ADDRESS="0xaddyouraddresshereonlyfordelegatepurpose"
```

The NEXT\_PUBLIC\_DELEGATE\_ADDRESS is the public address used for transactions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.talentlayer.org/technical-guides/delegation/delegate-system/setting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
