Creating copy of a method configuration

It is easier to copy an existing configuration rather than to create a new one.

To copy a method configuration:
  1. Make sure that you are working in the Authoring perspective.
  2. In the Library view, expand the Configurations folder.
  3. Right-click the method configuration that you want to copy and click Copy.
  4. Right-click the Configurations folder and click Paste. Type a name for the new configuration. The copied method configuration is pasted into the Configurations folder.
  5. Double-click the newly pasted method configuration to open its configuration editor.
  6. In the configuration editor window, enter a new name for your configuration in the Name field. If you click anywhere in the Library view or Configuration view, you will see your new configuration name in the Configurations folder in the Library view tree.
  7. Type a description for your configuration in the Description field, then click File > Save All to save your new method configuration.
  8. At the bottom of the editor window, click thePlug-in and Package Selection tab.
  9. The method configuration selection section shows a list of all method plug-ins, their content packages, and processes. Use the check boxes to add or remove plug-ins, packages, and processes to or from your configuration. Expand each plug-in to select and clear individual packages and processes.
  10. Click File > Save All.
  11. Define views for the method configuration. A view is a navigation tree browser in a published configuration. Every published configuration can have several views that are displayed as stacked tree browser tabs. The structure of the view is defined as a custom category
    1. In the Configuration Editor, click the Views tab.
    2. Click Add View.
    3. If needed, click the (+) sign to expand the Custom Categories folder and select the category that you want to use as your view. Click the (+) sign to expand your category and view its contents. Press and hold the Ctrl key to select multiple views.
    4. Click OK. The window closes and the views that you selected are added to the configuration.
  12. Select the view that you want to display as your configuration's startup view and click Make Default. The startup view is the first view shown when a published configuration is displayed for the first time.
  13. Click File > Save All.
