The page shows only the fields and actions that apply to the current situation. The groups below explain when each one appears.

No setup record yet?

Until someone opens the page for the first time, a company behaves as if it uses the default settings: Tenant Media, no media source company, no automatic orphan clean-up. Opening the page creates the setup record.
