# Settings

The **Settings** section in Struct PIM is the control center of your platform. This is where administrators configure how the system behaves, how data is structured, and how teams collaborate across the organization.

From defining data models and governance rules to managing integrations, AI capabilities, and system maintenance, Settings allows you to shape Struct PIM to match your business structure and workflows.

Changes made in Settings affect the entire platform and should be managed by users with the appropriate permissions.

### What You Can Do in Settings

* **Configure general system settings** such as languages, permissions, shared dashboards, archive reasons, file templates, and asset transformations.
* **Manage data models** including catalogues, product structures, attributes, dimensions, global lists, and asset types.
* **Set up data governance tools** such as enrichment insights, business rules, workflows, business units, and data analysis.
* **Configure the AI Assistant** for translation, text generation, and data extraction.
* **Set up integrations** using API configuration, webhooks, Azure Service Bus, and apps.
* **Monitor system health and maintenance** through index management, system changelog, and background tasks.
