Working with settings

The Settings page in the Administration tool displays a list of settings. You can change default setting values, add setting rules, and change setting values for specific users and security roles.

Use the filter selector to narrow the visible settings in the All, Common, Page, Widget, and Feature categories. You can also filter the visible settings by entering values in the filter text boxes in the list columns. When the page has active filters, you can clear the active filters by clicking Clear all below the list.

You can navigate from the settings list to a list of rules for a setting by clicking a setting name. From the list of setting rules, you can navigate to a list of users and roles to which the rule applies. To navigate back to the previous list, use the breadcrumb navigation above the list.

The settings list contains this information:
