Find Administration Guide

# Find Home Directory

You must specify the Find home directory as a Java system property. Depending on how you deploy the application, you can do this either in a startup script or within the appropriate application server configuration.

The home directory contains the following files:

- The Find configuration file (`config.json`). If this file is not found, Find generates a default configuration file when the application starts.

  You can edit the configuration file either from the Settings page in the application (recommended), or manually in a text editor. If you manually edit the file, you must restart Find for any configuration changes to take effect.

- The Find customization folder. This directory contains additional configuration files for additional customizable features, sure as dashboards and application links. See Configure Dashboards and Configure Applications.

- The Find logs folder. This directory contains the application log files, which contain details of application usage and any errors.

- The Find data folder. This directory contains the local database for the saved searches.

If you need to contact support, include the Find home directory as a zip file when you send your query.

NOTE: By default, the installer stores the Find home directory in the `ProgramData` folder, which might be hidden by default in Windows.
