Edit (CM)

The configuration database administers values on the basis of user-specific setting profiles.

When you select a data record in the tree structure in the left pane of the dialogue window, the corresponding settings will be displayed in the right pane of the window. You can use the functions of the Edit menu to modify these values and the tree structure.

Function	Description
Change	If you want to change a value in a data record, activate the desired item and select Change. You can also activate the value via double-click or by pressing the F2 key, and then overwrite it. If you are asked for a system string [] you can select a template file. Activate the System String [] field and select Edit > Change. Click the icon and activate one of the template files from the list. Changed values, i.e. values deviating from the underlying profile level, are highlighted in colour and can be reset to the original default value at any time.
Reset	This function restores the selected value to the state in the database.
Copy key	Use this function to copy the tree structure in the left pane, starting from the selected branch. It can then be copied, for example, to a TXT file.
Rename	Use this function to rename the referenced structure and the derived structure in the tree structure. The referenced structure will be identified by the icon.
Delete	This function deletes only derived structures and derived configurations in the left pane of the Configuration Editor.
Derive Structure	Use this function to copy the selected branch in the tree structure and paste it with a different name.
Select Reference	When you activate a referenced structure, this function activates the reference.
Activate Configuration	The 2nd level of the tree structure in the left pane of the Configuration Editor consists of the areas: Active Configuration and Configurations. The configuration that you activate with this function will be displayed in the Active configuration area and can then be modified.
Derive Configuration	Use this function to derive alternative, complete configurations. Here, too, the same principle as for structure derivation applies: Unchanged setings inherit their values from the default values (ISD or Administrator profile) of the superordinate configuration. To edit the derived configuration, select Activate configuration.
