# Using default settings

The server properties dialog consists of tabs, each containing their own specific set of properties. All tabs, except General, have either **Group Defaults** or **Site defaults** link, which allows you to view and modify default settings. If you want the properties on a particular tab to inherit default settings, select the **Inherit default settings** option. When you do, the default settings will be inherited from one of the following:

* **Group defaults.** Groups are described in [**Grouping and cloning RD Session Host Servers**](/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/rd-session-hosts/manage-rd-session-hosts/manage-host-pools-rd-session-hosts.md).
* **Site defaults.** Note that a group may also inherit Site defaults, but this can be overridden in the group properties dialog where you can specify custom settings for a group.

To view or modify default settings, click the **Group Defaults** or **Site defaults** link. Note that each individual tab can inherit default settings independently from other tabs.

To specify custom settings for an RD Session Host, clear the **Inherit default settings** option and use the controls on a given tab to set the desired options.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/rd-session-hosts/manage-rd-session-hosts/manage-hosts-rd-session-hosts/view-and-modify-rd-session-host-properties/using-default-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
