# Configuration Properties

> Configuration properties are system-level settings that control global behavior of Nextedy PLANNINGBOARD across all board instances in a Polarion project.

This section covers the four property groups: appearance, capacity, Teams Service integration, and scripting.

<Columns cols={3}>
  <Card title="Appearance Properties" icon="palette" href="/planningboard/reference/configuration-properties/appearance-properties">
    Control the visual presentation of the board: card colors, highlighting rules, and custom-enum color mappings.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Capacity Properties" icon="file" href="/planningboard/reference/configuration-properties/capacity-properties">
    Configure calendar fallback for users without a personal calendar, and capacity modifier fields on team work items.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Teams Service Properties" icon="file" href="/planningboard/reference/configuration-properties/teams-properties">
    Configure the Teams Service integration used to resolve team membership and assignee-based swimlane capacity.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Scripting Properties" icon="file" href="/planningboard/reference/configuration-properties/scripting-properties">
    Register scripting hooks that extend board behavior: item scripts, config scripts, and data scripts.
  </Card>
</Columns>

<Tip title="Configuration properties vs. widget parameters">
  Configuration properties are set once at the project or system level and affect all board instances. [Widget parameters](/planningboard/reference/widget-parameters/index) are set per board instance directly in the Polarion page editor. When you need to tune a single board's layout, swimlanes, or Plan query, use widget parameters. When you need to change behavior that applies to every board in the project — such as capacity normalization rules or scripting hooks — use configuration properties.
</Tip>

## Where to set configuration properties

Configuration properties are administered through the Polarion administration interface, not through the page editor. Navigate to **Administration > Nextedy PLANNINGBOARD** to view and edit these properties for the current project.

<Warning title="Capacity properties are whitespace-sensitive">
  Values for capacity configuration properties must not have leading or trailing whitespace. Unexpected spaces in capacity property values cause silent misreads at runtime. Always verify values exactly as entered.
</Warning>
