##### 3.2.7.1 Adding a new section or setting

You can add a new section to a selected configuration file, or a new setting to a section. Under ADD new item on the Configuration Manager Action page, choose one of the following:

Add new fixed-name section to file | A fixed-name section is pretty much any configuration section that is neither a format definition nor a macro definition. You select from applicable section names on the Section page.
Add new variable-name section to file | To add a format definition or a macro definition, select this option. You get to specify the name on the Section page.
Add new setting to section | If you try to add a setting to a file that does not contain the section that the setting belongs in, the Configuration Manager creates that section for you. Do not use for macro definitions.
Add new variable-key setting to one section | You get to choose the configuration section where you want the new setting. Do not use for macro definitions.

If you try to add a section to a file that already has a section by the same name, the Configuration Manager presents the existing section for you to edit instead; see §3.2.7.2 Editing a section or setting.

Note: You cannot add a setting to a named macro. Macro sections do not contain settings. Instead, choose Edit full section content; see §3.2.7.2 Editing a section or setting.

Click Apply action; the Configuration Manager switches to the Section page, the Setting page, or the .ini file page, depending on the action and the available sections or settings.
