General system settings (application settings, security settings, system database settings, external accessibility, license activation, clusters, statistics, setting up new databases etc. ) are accessible under System tab (marked with red frame on the screenshot above). Configurations of File Archive, Email Archive, SharePoint Archive and Custom plugins can be adjusted on the File Archive, Email Archive, SharePoint Archive and Custom plugins tabs on the ribbon.

You can switch between the tenants in the right upper menu of the Central Administration user interface.

In the user menu you can see the signed in user, the detailed information about the signed in user (About me), or you can change the already logged in user. Also here you can sign out from the Central Administration and log in to the contentWEB archive interface.

Click on the “?” question mark to roll down the help menu. Under About menu point you will find the information about the contentACCESS version that you have installed, here you can check the system uptime, and it also contains a link pointing to the company’s website. Under Documentation menu point you can access all documentations related to contentACCESS software.
