To change the settings for an existing module, login to your site.

Navigate to the page where the module is located. You can access the Module Settings page for a module using the modules menu (Figure 1) or by using the modules Settings icon Module Settings Icon*.

* the Settings icon is a CMS control and in some cases may have not been included in the modules container.

Module Settings Menu 

The settings that are set on the Module Settings page are general settings that can be set for any module regardless of the type (i.e. Announcments, Events, Links, etc.).  The page contains two types of module settings. The Module section sets values that will be applied to the module on all of the pages where it appears whereas the Page section sets values that are applied to the occurence of the module for the current page.

In some cases a third section may exist. The settings in the section are specific to the type of module. The name of the section is based on the type, for instance a Links module will have a section called Links Settings. For a description of settings specific to a module type refer to the Module Gallery.
