# 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. 

[Sync Horizon Copies](/total-materia-integrator/creator/data-maintenance/sync-horizon-copies.md) allows users to update and synchronize materials that contain copied data from Total Materia Horizon.

The General section contains twelve different subsections, each allowing for personalized configuration of the material data system. They include the following:
