# Settings

The Settings screen in Strive is an essential part of the application, allowing users with the necessary rights to configure system-wide settings and tailor Strive to suit the district’s unique needs. Settings serves as a centralized hub where users can manage different configurations that influence how evaluations, professional learning, student growth, staff management, forms, processes, and more operate within the application.

To configure evaluation processes, professional learning opportunities, student growth, staff settings, and more in Strive, select the **Settings** () option from the main menu.

## Configuration Categories in Settings

Upon accessing the Settings screen, you can access a number of different categories used to manage the various features in Strive. The categories you see here depend on the roles and rights assigned to you in [Management](/v1/docs/management).
