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.
