+
+ClearML can be tailored to your requirements by setting configurations in a variety of methods. All ClearML and ClearML 
+Agent configurations can be set in the `clearml.conf` file, which serves as the baseline configuration of both packages. 
+For detailed information about the configurable options in ClearML and ClearML Agent, see the 
+[Configuration File](clearml_conf.md) reference page. 
+
+ClearML supports reading configuration values from environment variables. Configuration entries specified
+in this manner override values specified in the `clearml.conf` file. See [Environment Variables](env_vars.md) for parameter
+specification.
+
+Enterprise users can insert configuration snippets into the configuration vault. When enabled, configuration entries 
+from the vault are applied on top of the configuration specified in `clearml.conf`. New definitions will extend the
+`clearml.conf` configurations, and existing definitions will be overridden. For more information, see [Configuration vault](../webapp/webapp_profile.md#configuration-vault).
+
+The different ClearML configuration methods take precedence as summarized in the following list (higher ordered methods 
+override the lower ones):
+1. Command-line arguments
+1. Environment variables
+1. Configuration vault
+1. Configuration file
