# Advanced Settings

Data Watcher can be fine tuned by modifying specific settings, which are contained in the **Setup** → **Advanced Settings** section. This operation must be executed carefully. Most of the settings are internal and must not be updated.

The default settings defined in Data Watcher should be suitable for most configurations, but a property may need to be changed.

Values should only be changed under very specific circumstances by experienced users or when instructed to do so by the support team to troubleshoot a problem. If a server restart is required after changing the value of a property, it is indicated.

When going to **Setup** → **Advanced Settings**, a page will appear where settings can be filtered in multiple ways:

* **By Module and Section**:
  * Select the **Module** in the Select Module drop-down list. Note that the list **will not be filtered** when selecting the Module.
  * Select the **Section**. The options pertaining to the selected Module will be listed and once the Section is selected, the list will be filtered listing only the items satisfying the criteria.
* **By Property Name**: enter the Name – full or partial – of the property you are looking for.
* **By Property Value**: enter the Value – full or partial – of the property you are looking for.

Selecting the **Section** is optional, you can go directly to the Property Name field if you know the name of the setting you want to edit. When you have selected all the filters you need, click the **Apply** button to see the results. Both the Property Name and Property Value columns can be sorted in alphabetical order or reversed alphabetical order.

To **edit** or **delete** a setting, click the **3-dot** icon on the right of the row and select the entry needed. To add a new setting, click the **ADD PROPERTY** button on the top right-hand corner and fill in the fields.
