# Configuration

> Nextedy RISKSHEET configuration controls every aspect of the risk analysis grid -- from column layout and data types to styling, formulas, and template inheritance.

## Configuration Reference Pages

**[Configuration Properties Index](/risksheet/reference/configuration/properties-index)** -- Complete listing of all configuration properties with types, defaults, allowed values, and descriptions. Use this as the primary lookup reference when configuring Risksheet.

**[Risksheet.json Format](/risksheet/reference/configuration/risksheet-json-format)** -- Structure and schema of the sheet configuration sheet configuration attached to Polarion documents, including top-level sections, nesting rules, and file attachment conventions.

**[Default Configuration Values](/risksheet/reference/configuration/default-values)** -- Default values applied by the system when properties are not explicitly set in the document or template configuration. Useful for understanding baseline behavior before customization.

**[Work Items Widget Parameters](/risksheet/reference/configuration/work-items-widget-params)** -- Parameters controlling work item display, sorting, filtering, and user interaction within the risk analysis grid.

**[Plans Widget Parameters](/risksheet/reference/configuration/plans-widget-params)** -- Parameters for the plans widget integration that connects Risksheet to Polarion planning views.

**[Template Path Configuration](/risksheet/reference/configuration/template-path-configuration)** -- Project-level settings for document template paths, creation folders, and template suggester behavior in the Polarion UI.

**[Document Configuration Override](/risksheet/reference/configuration/document-config-override)** -- How to detach a document's configuration from its global template for per-document customization, and the implications for future template updates.

**[Configuration Validation Rules](/risksheet/reference/configuration/config-validation-rules)** -- Rules the system applies when validating sheet configuration content, including required fields, type constraints, and common validation errors.

**[Configuration Interactions](/risksheet/reference/configuration/config-interactions)** -- How configuration properties interact with each other, including dependencies, conflicts, and precedence rules when multiple properties affect the same behavior.

## Configuration Hierarchy

Risksheet configuration follows a three-tier inheritance model. Properties set at a lower tier override those from a higher tier, allowing broad defaults with per-document customization.

<Tip title="Where to Start">
  If you are new to Risksheet configuration, begin with [Risksheet.json Format](/risksheet/reference/configuration/risksheet-json-format) to understand the file structure, then use the [Configuration Properties Index](/risksheet/reference/configuration/properties-index) as a lookup reference for individual properties. For understanding how changes at one level affect another, see [Configuration Interactions](/risksheet/reference/configuration/config-interactions).
