 ## Configuration
 Note, that you can adjust names of Recordtypes and Properties that are used.
-If you want to do this, you need to overwrite the files 
-- `loanpy/src/loan/conf.py` and
-- `loan-custom/caosdb-server/caosdb-webui/src/ext/js/a_box_loan_config.js`.
+If you want to do this, you need to 
+1. Create a configuration file for `loanpy`. Place a `~/linkahead_loan.ini` in
+   the sss home directory (`caosdb-server/scripting/home`) and add those keys,
+   that you want to change. Check out the available options in the default file
+   `loanpy/src/loan/default_config.ini`.
+- Add a `caosdb-server/caosdb-webui/src/ext/js/a_box_loan_config.js` to your
+  custom folder such that it overwrites the corresponding file of loan-custom.
