Configuration Settings Structure

Graphical User Interface
Child settings can be set to
override
parent settings. In this case, the overridden
settings will, in turn, be cascaded down to lower nodes in the hierarchy. Overridden
settings are displayed in bold.
Settings are changed only for a particular Configuration. If you want your changes to
a node to be made throughout all Configurations, be sure to select All Configurations
in the Configuration box.
To change the settings for a node:
1. In
the
Project Explorer, click the Settings
button.
2. Use
the
Configuration box to change the Configuration for which the changes
will be made.
3.
In the left pane, select the settings family that you want to edit.
4.
In the right pane, select and change the setting properties that you want to
override.
5.
When you have finished, click OK to validate the changes.
By default, the settings of each node are inherited from those of the parent node.
When you override the settings of a parent node, changes are propagated to all child
nodes within the same Configuration. Overridden fields are displayed in bold.
Configuration Settings Structure
The Configuration Settings provides access to the following settings families:

The actual settings available for each node depend on the type of node and the
language of the selected Configuration.

By default, the settings of each node are inherited from those of the parent node.
When you override the settings of a parent node, changes are propagated to all child
nodes within the same Configuration. Overridden fields are displayed in bold.
