# Data Maintenance

Configure your material data system by setting up desired [material groups](/total-materia-integrator/creator/data-maintenance/material-groups.md), [property groups](/total-materia-integrator/creator/data-maintenance/property-groups.md), [properties](/total-materia-integrator/creator/data-maintenance/properties.md), [parameters](/total-materia-integrator/creator/data-maintenance/parameters.md), [references](/total-materia-integrator/creator/data-maintenance/references.md), and more. Data Maintenance section is structured in two sections: General and Sync Horizon Copies section.
