Editing Configuration Plug-in Properties

Use the Configuration Properties page to edit plug-in properties. You define properties and their values for a plug-in when you create the plug-in. When you create a template or run a configuration process, you may edit the property values.

Access the Configuration Properties page using the following navigation path:

PeopleTools, and then Automated Config Manager, and then ACM Templates, and then Define ACM Templates and click the Properties icon for a configuration plug-in that you want to edit.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Configuration Properties page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
