Configure a PowerWeb Location

After you have created a PowerWeb location as described in Create a PowerWeb Location, you can later configure it to change the configuration or to enable some advanced options.

PowerWeb can upload files with sizes up to the limit that is configured for Internet Information Services. The default size may be inadequate for your needs. You can adjust the limit as described in the Accruent knowledge base article How to increase the upload file size limit of PowerWeb.
