Under Administration › General you set application-wide values that do not belong to a single module: the Risk Matrix, the Currency, and the Numbering prefix. What a value does in ISMS or in ITAM is described in the respective module.

​
Saving the Settings Pages

This applies to General, ITAM, ISMS, and Documents alike. Every entry lands in a draft first; if the draft differs from the saved state, a bar appears offering Save and Discard.
General writes to several areas at once on save. If one fails, its draft stays and a message appears above the sections — the remaining areas are already saved at that point. After such a message, check which section is still open instead of setting everything again.
An invalid entry never reaches the draft and locks Save until it is fixed.

​
Resetting Values

If a field differs from its default, a small button next to it resets only that field in the draft. Reset to Default instead affects the whole page and appears only when a saved value there deviates from the default.
Reset to Default also discards unsaved changes. The confirmation points this out when any exist.

​
Risk Matrix

Size chooses between 3, 4, or 5 and applies to both axes. Below it, three fields set the Low Threshold, Medium Threshold, and High Threshold in percent.
Each matrix cell gets a risk value from 0 to 100% (likelihood times impact relative to the maximum). A threshold is the lower bound of the next zone: a cell counts as low while it stays below the low threshold; from the high threshold upward it counts as critical. A value exactly on a threshold therefore falls into the higher zone.
The thresholds must be strictly ascending and between 0 and 99%. A preview below colors the four zones Low, Medium, High, and Critical as you type.
Shrinking the Size asks for confirmation and states how many risk assessments would then lie outside the matrix and need reassessment — counted up to 200. The values themselves are kept until someone opens the affected risk.
What the risk matrix means in the workflow is described under Assessing Risks.

​
Currency

A choice of five currencies: Euro (€), US Dollar ($), British Pound (£), Japanese Yen (¥), Swiss Franc (CHF).
The selection changes only the displayed symbol after amounts. Amounts are not converted — switching from euro to US dollar swaps only the symbol; the recorded figures stay unchanged.

​
Numbering

The Prefix field for automatically generated IDs of documents, risks, threats, vulnerabilities, and controls: 1 to 10 characters, uppercase A–Z and digits 0–9 only.
A change applies only to newly generated IDs. Existing numbers stay unchanged, so approved document numbers remain citable.
The module-specific values sit alongside: ITAM for Strict Mode and Validation Cycle (Days), ISMS for Risk Review (Days), and Documents for the Strict Mode of document control.
