Configuration Introduction

A configuration is a group of tables that hold settings and parameters for
stream processes. While these tables can change, they are meant to be stable.

Configuration groups are imported and activated through the UI. At any time, only one configuration group can be active.

The control tables in a configuration group can also be edited in the UI.

Importing Configuration Groups

1. Navigate to the Configuration tab.
2. Import a configuration group by clicking the Import Group icon in the Configuration Group panel to the left.
3. Enter a new name for the Configuration Group or use the name of an
   existing Configuration Group to import a new version.
4. Enter a Comment for the Configuration Group Import.
5. Select the file to be imported by clicking the icon.
6. Within the file, select specific tables to import by clicking the box to the right of the table name or click the Select All box to import all the tables in the file.
