To set system configuration options

Click the Configuration tab in the Discovery Accelerator client, and then click the Settings tab.
Click the plus sign at the left of a section name to list the associated settings.
Alternatively, type some characters in the filter box at the top of the window to search for the configuration options that contain those characters. For example, type Color to find all the options that contain this word in their names.
For each setting whose value you want to change, do the following in the order listed:
- Click the value in the Value column.
- Set the required value.
- Click outside the Value column.
When you have set all the required options, click Save.
If you have changed any setting that has a tick in its Restart Required column, restart the Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager service on the Discovery Accelerator server to put your changes into effect.
