Creating, Previewing, and Modifying Settings
Note: You can also create hierarchies of groups (groups within groups). Just drag a group
folder into another group folder.
This custom group
contains three other
custom groups, each
with its own settings.
The Description field displays the number of settings your group contains. Once you have
at least one setting inside the group folder, you can click the disclosure triangle next to
the group folder to show or hide the setting group details. You can also see full details
of the settings in any group by selecting the group and then looking at the Summary
pane in the Inspector window.
Note: You can also drag settings from one group to another group.
To add the same setting to more than one group
1
Select the setting.
2
Click the Duplicate button to create a copy.
3
Drag the duplicated setting to another group folder.
You can choose to rename the setting, for example, removing the word “copy” from it.
