Configurations can become quite large, and so it is often
helpful to view only the parts of the configuration that have data,
or even just the parts that you have changed (edited).
Before you begin
When the Configuration Editor first displays a configuration,
the “Show Entire Tree” option is selected. Even when viewing the entire
tree, you can easily see which commands contain data. Any command
with a “paper” icon next to it contains data. Using the Configuration
Editor, you can selectively view specific configuration data.
About this task
Use this procedure to view specific configuration data.
Procedure
- Select the “Show Only Data” option from the drop down list
on the menu bar to limit your view to the parts of the configuration
that contain data.
- Click on any command to see the data (value) for that
command.
- Select the “Show Only Changes” option from the drop down
list to view the changes that have been made to the draft in relation
to the configuration on which it was based (changes that you have
made in the current editing session, plus any other changes made to
the draft in previous editing sessions).
- Select the "Show Mandatory" option from the drop down list
view to filter the tree, and show only nodes marked with the Mandatory icon.
If you have mandatory nodes in any part of the configuration which
are incomplete, a dialog appears when saving to indicate that this
is mandatory and must be completed.
- As you are editing a configuration, if you want to see
what the old value for a changed field was, simply click the binocular
icon to toggle back and forth between the old (baseline) and new (changed)
values.
Note: The bottom of the screen always identifies
which value you are viewing.
