WebUI Configuration
You can configure the Avantra WebUI runtime environment by setting the values for multiple parameters. Some of the parameters can be adjusted while the WebUI is running and others require a restart.

- Select Administration > Settings from the top-level menu.
- Choose Avantra UI.
- Click on the Edit icon and change the value or on the Refresh icon to restore the default.
- Click Save.
