The user interface under Category -> Configuration files is subdivided in the following way:

Left dialog area:
The configuration files are subdivided in different directories by their storage path, which is represented by an environment variable.
- $CADENAS_USER
- $CADENAS_SETUP
- $CADENAS_SITESETUP
- $CADENAS_SETUP/partwarehouse
- $CADENAS_DATA/datasetup
- $CADENAS_DEFAULTUSER
- $CADENAS_LICENSE
Once opening a directory you can see the corresponding configuration files .^[27]
Middle dialog area:
Once selecting a configuration file , in the tree, in the middle dialog area, the corresponding blocks, keys and values are displayed.
- The first column contains the blocks with corresponding keys.
  When clicking on the small black icons you can open or close the blocks.
  In an opened block the keys are visible.^[28]
- The second column contains the key values.
  If the column is too narrow to display the complete value, you can use the tooltip.

Right dialog area

On the right side you can see the following dialog areas:

Short description
In the dialog area Short description you can find basic information on the currently selected block or key.

Documentation

For more complex context, in the dialog area Documentation, the corresponding section of the documentation is displayed. If not available, this area remains empty.

Note

If only Short description or only Documentation is available, then the respectively other area is hidden.

If information is available for both areas, then you can shift the border line after mouseover.
