3.2.7.6 Moving a section or setting
You can move sections within or between files, and
you can move settings either within a section or between instances of
that section in different files. Under MOVE existing item on the
Configuration Manager Action page, choose one of the following:
Move section within one file
|
For the most part, the order of sections within a configuration
file does not affect functionality. However, you might want to change
the order of sections in a file for readability.
|
Move section between files
|
You might want to move a section “upstream”
or “downstream”; that is, make it apply more widely or less
widely.
|
Move setting within one section
|
The only time the order of settings within a section
affects functionality is when you use wildcards in the names of variable-key
settings, such as in group names for graphics or tables. This option
lets you move a selected setting up or down within the same section.
|
Move setting between files
|
To change the scope of a setting, you can move it “upstream”
(to a configuration file with a wider scope) or “downstream”
(to a configuration file with a narrower scope).
|
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.
