Configure Your System

Here a system administrator can make system wide changes like mail sending, logging, module level permissions, menu structure, automated processing, etc.

It’s best if you learn the concept of URL hacking, and use the front-end action of the URL, to find settings affecting the frontend. As you grow, you will learn to navigate using the navigation tree, and later search more complex using search terms and filters.

Searching

If you then hit enter, or choose the magnifying glass, the returned results will include setting where the search term was additionally found in the description (English text only) or the setting value.
