# Change the Virtual Agent greeting messages in the Greeting setup topic
# Change the Virtual Agent greeting messages in the Greeting setup

The Virtual Agent greeting setup topic provides default greeting messages for your conversations. Customize these greetings by adding system properties that change the default welcome message and the top selection
message prompting users to enter an issue or request.
## Vorbereitungen
Role required: virtual_agent_admin or admin
## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird
Starting with the Orlando release, the com.glide.cs.general.welcome_message and com.glide.cs.general.top_selection_message properties are no longer automatically installed with Virtual Agent. These properties define the greeting messages used in the Greeting setup topic.
In the Orlando release, the default Greeting setup topic was updated. If you upgraded from the New York release, these properties are retained so that you can continue using the original Greeting setup topic. If you want to use the updated Greeting setup topic, delete the com.glide.cs.general.welcome_message and com.glide.cs.general.top_selection_message system properties that contain the original Greeting messages.
Hinweis:
These properties aren't present in the base system, but creating them enables you to override these messages.
For new customers, the updated Greeting setup topic (see the following example) is the default. If you want to change the default message text in the Greeting setup topic, add these system properties to the System Property
\[sys_properties\] table:
* com.glide.cs.general.welcome_message: Change the default welcome message
* com.glide.cs.general.top_selection_message: Change the top selection message that displays after the welcome message
