# Edit Data Admin Configuration Settings

The first time that you log on to Data Admin, the Settings Wizard guides you through the setup process. In subsequent sessions, click , then click Settings to use the Settings page to edit the Data Admin configuration file.

The Settings page allows you to:

- Specify the connection type, host, port, and logon type information for the Community component that handles Data Admin user authentication.
- Specify the connection type, host, and port information for the Content component where your content is indexed. You can also specify whether you have a Standard setup (where you have a single Content component and send all commands directly to that component), or a Distributed setup (where you have multiple Content components and send commands to a Distributed Action Handler (DAH), which distributes them appropriately).

- Specify the connection type, host, and port information for the View server to use to view your documents in a web browser. You can also specify the reference field to use for each document, in reference mode, and the connector host and port information for connector viewing mode.

- Specify the connection type, host, and port information for the Query Manipulation Server that you want to manage using Data Admin.

  You can also specify whether to use index mode or dictionary mode if you want to use QMS to provide query completion. For more information, see the QMS Administration Guide, and the QMS Reference.

- Specify the connection type, host, and port information for the Agentstore that Query Manipulation Server uses for data storage. You can also specify whether you have a Standard setup (where you have a single Agentstore component and send all commands directly to that component), or a Distributed setup (where you have multiple Agentstore components and send commands to a DAH, which distributes them appropriately).
- Specify the connection type, host, and port information for the Statistics Server.

- Specify the connection type, host and port information, and system name for Answer Server. The system name corresponds to the Answer Server Answer Bank configuration. For more information, see the Answer Server Administration Guide.

- Test your server connections.
- Set up an external search engine to query when a user wants to search the web.

Data Admin validates any changes to your server settings, and prompts you to correct any information that is not valid before you can save your settings.
