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.
