3.2.7.1 Adding a new section or setting
You can add a new section to a selected configuration
file, or a new setting to a section. Under ADD new item on the
Configuration Manager Action page, choose one of the following:
Add new fixed-name section to file
|
A fixed-name section is pretty much any configuration
section that is neither a format definition nor a macro definition. You
select from applicable section names on the Section page.
|
Add new variable-name section to file
|
To add a format definition or a macro definition, select
this option. You get to specify the name on the Section page.
|
Add new setting to section
|
If you try to add a setting to a file that does not
contain the section that the setting belongs in, the Configuration Manager
creates that section for you. Do not use for macro definitions.
|
Add new variable-key setting to one section
|
You get to choose the configuration section where you
want the new setting. Do not use for macro definitions.
|
If you try to add a section to a file that already
has a section by the same name, the Configuration Manager presents the
existing section for you to edit instead; see §3.2.7.2 Editing
a section or setting.
Note: You cannot add a setting
to a named macro. Macro sections do not contain settings. Instead, choose
Edit full section content; see §3.2.7.2 Editing
a section or setting.
Click Apply action; the Configuration Manager
switches to the Section page, the Setting page, or the
.ini file page, depending on the action and the available sections
or settings.
