Introduction

This page covers the Configuration Tree layout 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.
