# Set Material topic selection system property

Set the Material topic selection system property to enable the Socialsuite integration features.

## Before you begin

## About this task

The Material topic selection system property determines how material topics are visualized on the Operational Sustainability Workspace. When set to Social Suite, the heatmap displays material topics imported from Socialsuite and shows their impact materiality score and financial materiality score instead of the default importance rankings. The **Sync Topics**button becomes available for importing material topics.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Operational Sustainability Management** > **Administration** > **Properties**.

2.  In the **Material topic selection** field, select **Social Suite**.

3.  Select **Save**.


## Result

The **Sync Topics** button becomes available and the material topics heatmap displays material topics based on their impact materiality score and financial materiality score.
