Introduction
This section page covers the Configuration Tree and it's basic settings. The Configuration Tree is a component of the Live tab when the Config Function is enabled. It contains every configurable aspect of the Witness software, separating them into different folders.

By default the configuration tree is automatically filtered so that it only shows items which are displayed on the main map display. When the configuration mode is enabled, the tree is expanded to show all configurable items, including entities such as users and integration plugins. |

Managing Folders
When Witness is first installed it creates a number of default folders including default configuration entities. These system folders cannot be deleted or moved, however new folders can be created under any of the top level system folders. Non-system folders can be deleted however they must be empty.
You can create new entities, such as areas, by selecting the folder you want to store the area in and once in configuration mode, selecting the New button. When creating new entities in a folder, you will only be given the option of entities which are allowed in the selected folder.
Some objects are limited to specific system folders, for example users, however other objects, such as areas, can be created in several different folders. Entities and entire folders, including their contents, can be easily dragged to other folders. However the same rules apply, you will not be allowed to drag items into system folders where they are not supported.
