4.2.7.6 Moving a section or
setting
You can move sections within
or between files, and you can move settings either within a section or
between instances of that section in different files. Under MOVE existing item on the Configuration
Manager Action page, choose one of
the following:
Move
section within one file
|
For the most part, the order
of sections within a configuration file does not affect functionality.
However, you might want to change the order of sections in a file for
readability.
|
Move
section between files
|
You might want to move a section
“upstream” or “downstream”; that is, make it
apply more widely or less widely.
|
Move
setting within one section
|
The only time the order of
settings within a section affects functionality is when you use wildcards
in the names of variable-key settings, such as in group names for graphics
or tables. This option lets you move a selected setting up or down within
the same section.
|
Move setting between files
|
To change the scope of a setting,
you can move it “upstream” (to a configuration file with
a wider scope) or “downstream” (to a configuration file with
a narrower scope).

Click Apply
action; the Configuration manager switches to the Section page, the Setting
page, or the .ini file page, depending
on the action and the available sections or settings.
