4.2.5 Choosing a configuration category or file type

On the Configuration Manager Category page, choose a category of settings to work with, or a type of configuration file. You are not locked into your choice; you can always return to this page to switch to a different category or configuration type.

At the top of the Configuration Manager Category page you see the full path to the starting configuration file for the current session; this is either the project configuration file for a project you selected, or another file you specified on the Start page; see §4.2.4 Establishing a starting point.

Select type of file or category of settings

Under Select type of configuration file, you can highlight the kind of configuration file or template you want to focus on. As an alternative, under Select category, click one of the following categories: 

Category	Description	Ref.
General Configuration	Project configuration options and settings	5
Macros	Definitions of Mif2Go macros	28
Content Models	Configuration-style representation of a DTD	32

If the category has a + in front of it, click the + to see a list of subcategories.

Section matches and Setting matches

To narrow down your selection, you can specify the name of a configuration section, the name of a setting in that section, or both; and you can use wildcards in either name.If you specify both a section name and a setting name, make sure that setting actually is valid in the named section.

Apply selections

Once you have selected a category or file type (and optionally specified section and/or setting names), click Apply selections; the Configuration Manager switches to the Action page. See §4.2.7 Choosing the kind of change to make.
