OS

The operating system (OS) menu serves as the central hub for all configuration within the application, representing the actual settings pages that control changes to the underlying .yml files. The Server Control Panel was designed to minimize the need for direct interaction with the file system, making configuration more accessible and streamlined. The menu items dynamically reflect all configurable options available in FMOS.

To make configuration easier, an information icon

is available next to entry fields offering helpful context and clearer explanations of each setting’s purpose.

To activate a field for editing, turn the toggle switch next to the field on. A blue toggle indicates that the field is active.

On the OS page, you can access:
