# System Settings Overview

## Overview

The **Settings****Folder** allows an Administrator to alter the settings of the Portal as well as many other entities and processes that the platform supports, such as any [Modules](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/about-modules), clustering, logging, and much more.

To view and change **System Settings**, navigate to the folder **System > Settings**, select the desired setting from the list of Settings in the Folder, then adjust it in its respective editor.

Alternatively, Settings can be adjusted by right-clicking the entity in the **Folder View** and then selecting **Edit.**

## Proxy Settings

  
The Proxy Settings allows configuration of all external calls made from Decisions to be made through a proxy server. This impact nearly all modules and any steps, such as REST steps, that make outbound calls. Any parts of a build that should not go through the proxy should be added to the Bypass List section under SETTINGS. This feature is only available in v9.8+.
