# Settings location | Mesh locations

> Configure integration-specific settings after installation.

Source: https://docs.uniform.app/docs/integrations/mesh-integrations/locations/settings

The **Settings** location is shown after the integration is installed in a project or when you are editing the integration settings. It allows you to define various integration settings that can be configured for the concrete integration instance of the current project.

![Settings location for a custom integration.](https://docs.uniform.app/images/integrations/mesh-integrations/location-settings.png)

Common settings include various display options or authentication settings to external systems if the integration needs to access them in client-side code.

## Manifest configuration

```json
{
  "locations": {
    "settings": {
      "url": "/reference/settings"
    }
  }
}
```

> **Managing API credentials:**
>
> If your integration defines it's own data connectors to data sources for edge-based data fetching, then do not save the access credentials in the Settings location. Instead store them in the [Data source location](https://docs.uniform.app/docs/integrations/mesh-integrations/locations/data-source#secrets-management) that has a secure way to store them on the edge.
