# System Settings Menu

You can do this by either specifying settings for the system as a whole, or setting values for fields that Analysts complete.

Once your system is configured and tested, ASM Core also enables you to **port these settings to another ASM System**. This helps organizations move from a test environment to a live environment. 

{% hint style="info" %}
To ensure the correct data can be ported through configuration portability, you should avoid specifying duplicate values in administration (such as call priorities). 
{% endhint %}

Select **Admin** > **System Administration**.

The System Administration window appears.

Assuming you have the appropriate permissions in your security profile, on the Explorer pane from within the **System** menu, you can use the following options:
