Depending on the Mosaic version you’re using, you’ll have the ability to modify the website’s system properties. You can make these changes yourself in some versions, but you’ll need our assistance in others.

Starting from Mosaic 22.1.0.0, if you're a Mosaic user with the AMENDSYSPROP system function, you can edit existing system properties from the Mosaic frontend configuration screen by following these simple steps:

  1. Click Narrow workview from the top left menu.

  2. Click Tools then Configuration Tools from the top right header menu.

  3. Click System Properties.

  4. Find the settings you’re looking to amend using the search box.

📌 Note: The database audits all updates.
