# Settings

The Settings menu allows you to configure the settings for a class. It also comes with some predefined settings that you can use as is or customize. See [Pre-programmed Settings](https://docs.faronics.com/faronics-insight-docs/using-faronics-insight/the-insight-teacher-console/settings/pre-programmed-settings).

Configuring settings for *Block Applications*, *Web Filtering*, and *Disable Drives* will automatically force Student computers to enter *Focus* mode after they have been applied to the class.

{% hint style="info" %}
Students that are in *Focus* mode will be displayed on the Teacher console with a red frame around the thumbnail.
{% endhint %}

To view or edit these restrictions, navigate to the Settings drop-down menu and click the *Settings* icon next to the setting. Alternatively, hover your mouse on the computer name of the Student thumbnail and click *Go to Settings.*, or click the restrictions warning at the bottom of the screen and click *Go to Settings.*

You can import/export settings you have configured for a classroom and apply the same settings to another classroom without having to set up the same configuration from scratch. Exported settings will be saved as a .json file.

The settings that can be configured are:
