The Configuration toolset contains tools to create, configure, and manage diagram templates.
The tools are used to do the following:
- Manage the stages of a network diagram template—Creation, deletion, properties, and diagram layer definition.
- Add a specific layout to a diagram template—Use the Add <XXX> Layout tools to add a layout algorithm to the list of automatic algorithms of a template. Every new layout that is added to a template is appended to the end of the list of automatic layouts.
- Add a specific rule to a diagram template—The Add <XXX> Rule and Add <XXX> Rule By Attribute tools allow you to configure rules that are added to a template rule sequence.
