# Avantra WebUI Configuration

You can configure the Avantra WebUI runtime environment by setting the values for a number of parameters. Some of the parameters can be adjusted while the WebUI is running and others require a restart. If there is a icon beside the parameter you need to restart the Avantra WebUI service before changes will take effect.

To adjust WebUI parameters:

1. Select Administration Settings from the top-level menu.

   Choose Avantra UI.

2. Click on and change the value or on to restore the default.

3. Push the Save button.
