Managing advanced configuration

Adjust configuration settings in supported configuration files.

About this task

The advanced configuration panel displays a table of configuration settings. Some can be modified and some are read-only. Each setting is displayed as a row in the table. The name of the setting is listed in the key column. The current value of the key is listed in the value column. You can locate a setting by using one of the following methods:

  • Scroll through the list until you see the setting.

    By default, all configuration settings are included in the list.

  • Filter the list by entering a string in the Filter field.

    When you enter a string, the list is modified to show only the settings that contain the specified string.

  • Filter the list by selecting a category from the Filter by Category menu.

For descriptions of the categories and properties, see Advanced configuration properties.
