Command Function
Disable Sections are enabled by default. This menu item disables active sections.
Disabled sections remain in the file, appear in red, and can be enabled.
When a section is disabled, all of its keys are disabled automatically.
When sections and keys are disabled, their description sections are grayed-
out. If you disable a section that has child sections, all of its child sections
(and child section keys) are disabled automatically.
When reading the configuration file, the mobile device behaves as though
disabled sections are not there and moves on to read the next enabled
section.
Note: You can enable a child section of a disabled section. However, the
mobile device reads the higher level section first, and, if the higher level
section is disabled, the device does not attempt to read its child sections.
Disabled sections can be removed from the configuration file permanently
using the “Simplify Document” option. If you want to keep disabled
sections in the configuration file on the PC but not the file deployed to the
mobile device, use the “Simplify” option when creating the bar code.
Insert New This menu item inserts a new section at the selected level. The new level is
inserted above the selected section. You can also press the Insert key (INS).
Append New
Child
This menu item adds a new child section under a selected section.
Modifying Section Names and Descriptions
To change a section name, double-click on the folder and type in the new name or select Modify
on the Edit menu. Type in the new name and press <ENT>.
Note: You cannot modify the name if the section is locked.
Descriptions are not required to process key values but to document the configuration file for
future reference. If you want to modify a section description, select the section, tap inside the
section description area of the window. This area becomes active and the text can be edited.
The text in black is the section name and cannot be modified in this area. The text of the
description appears in green and can be modified.
Moving Sections
To move sections within a configuration file, use the drag and drop method. By default, sections
are dropped at the same level in the receiving tree.
For additional functionality when dragging and dropping, press and hold
• ALT to drop a section as a child section.
• CTRL to copy a section and drop the copy at the same level in the tree.
• CTRL + ALT to copy a section and drop the copy as a child section.
Note: You can select only one section at a time; you cannot use SHIFT+Tap or CTRL+Tap to
select more than one section.
To move sections between configuration files, open two instances of EZConfig Editor and drag
and drop sections between them. When dragging, a copy of the section is dragged to the new file.
When dropping, drop the section directly on top of the section you want it to be a child section of.
Note: To drop the first section into a new file, press and hold the ALT key and drop the section
on the root node. (All sections must be child sections of the root node.)
