Configuration Settings Editor Home Tab
From the Home tab on the ribbon, you can create and edit configuration settings, search and filter the data, define how you want the data to display, and export the data in a variety of formats. You can also edit values inline under the value columns.
| Group/Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Record | The buttons in this group let you open existing configuration settings and create and delete custom settings. |
| Open | Click this button to open the selected configuration setting. |
| Delete | Click this button to delete a custom configuration
setting. Standard configuration settings cannot be deleted. Therefore, this button is available only for custom settings. |
| New | Click this drop-down list to create a custom
configuration setting. Data type options include Text, Integer, Menu,
Yes/No, and Date/Time. You cannot change the data type after you have selected it. |
| Editing | The buttons in this group let you edit configuration setting values. |
| Save | Click this button to save your changes. |
| Edit Selection | Click this button to open either the Site or
<interface name> window and enter the value of the selected configuration
setting. In the default cross-tab view, you can edit only one row at a time. Therefore, if more than one row is selected, this button is disabled. |
| Auto Save | Click this button to automatically save your
inline edits. Auto Save works only for inline edits. The Save button is disabled when Auto Save is selected. See Edit an Individual Value Inline and Edit Values in Multiple Rows Using the Ribbon. |

| Search | Click this button to open the Search window and select criteria for runtime selectable filters. See Search for a Configuration Setting. |
| Refresh | Click this button to reload the data shown using
the current search criteria. Note: This button works differently
when you edit a configuration setting. If you change a value before
saving, clicking the Refresh button reverts to the previously saved
value. |
| Reset | Click this button to reload the data shown using the default search criteria. |
| Find | Click this button to find text, numeric values, or special characters on the
current page. Cells that contain the search value are highlighted. See Find Content in a Report. The Find button works only on the current page. |

| Cross Tab | Click this button to display configuration settings in a table format. This is the default view. |
| Rollup | Click this button to display configuration settings in rollup levels. The data rolls up by configuration setting name. If you have more than one interface, this view lets you edit multiple rows at the same time for the same configuration setting. See Define Rollups and Edit the Same Configuration Settings Across Multiple Interfaces. |
| Audit Log | Click this button to view changes that have been made to the configuration settings, including when the change was made, who made the change, the affected configuration base, configuration setting name, and old and new values. You can also use runtime selectable filters to search for specific configuration settings. |
| Meta Data | Click this button to select criteria to display the attributes associated with configuration settings. See Export Configuration Setting Metadata. |
| Pending Changes | Click this button to open the Pending Changes
window and view changes that failed to deploy during the save process.
You can deploy all changes from this window. Nothing displays unless there is a failed deployment. |
| Analyze | The buttons in this group let you sort the data and apply auto filtering, rollups, and slicing to the data. |
| Auto Filter | Click this button to enable auto-filtering. Auto-filtering provides column filtering after the report has been generated. See Enable Auto Filters. |
