Editing a Configuration
Editing a Configuration
You can edit a configuration at any time:
• After you capture the configuration with a template.
• While you are creating a configuration without a template.
• After you save a configuration.
The following sections describe the various editing procedures.
Tips for Undoing Edits and Discarding Changes
The Undo option at the top of the Edit menu pertains to the last previously
performed operation, and its associated nomenclature changes as applicable
to indicate what exactly is to be undone if that option is selected. Successive
option selections are stored in a buffer, so that undoing the last-performed
action enables the next-previously performed action as the next action that
you can undo. You can use the following Undo options on the Edit menu to
undo changes when you are editing attribute values and instance IDs:
• Click on Undo Insert to undo the last previous addition to the Attribute/
Value list.
• Click on Undo Cut to undo the last previous removal from the Attribute/
Value list.
• Click on Undo Paste to discard the last preceding duplication obtained by
copying any entry already in the Attribute/Value list.
• Click on Undo Typing to undo the last preceding modification of either
an Instance ID or a Value for any entry in the Attribute/Value list.
• Click on Undo Update to undo the last preceding confirmation of a
modification of either an Instance ID or a Value for any entry in the
Attribute/Value list.
• Click on Discard All Changes to undo all modifications that you have
not yet saved.
How to Modify Attribute Values and Instance IDs
Because ECM captures values and instance IDs from an existing device, most
of the work in creating configurations is done for you. However, if you need to
modify attribute values and instance IDs, follow these steps:
1. In the Configurations window, select the configuration you want to edit.
