To use configuration forms to configure or view parameters

Steps
 
1 

To open a configuration form, use one of the following methods:

  1. Choose the required NFM-P main menu or submenu option.

  2. Right-click on an object in the navigation tree and choose the required option.

  3. Double-click on the lowest-level navigation tree object.

    When you double-click on an object that has a child object, the tree expands to show the child object. When you double-click on an object that has no child objects, the object properties form opens.

  4. Double-click on an object in a list.

  5. Select an object in a list and click Properties.

  6. Choose Application→Go To Property Form from the NFM-P main menu and paste a property form identifier from the NFM-P clipboard; see To use the NFM-P clipboard .

2 

To expand or collapse panels, click on the titlebar of the panel.

You can collapse or expand all of the panels on a tabbed form. Right-click on the tab header and choose Collapse All Panels or Expand All Panels.

When a configuration form closes, the current state of the panels is saved for that object type. When a user opens a configuration form, the last saved state of the panels is displayed.

3 

Configure or view the parameters on the form.

If the configuration form is a step form, follow the form prompts.

Note: A parameter field that has a yellow background is mandatory and must be configured before you can go to the next form or apply the changes on the current form.

Avoid colons in the name field because the NFM-P uses colons as separators for the object full name.

4 

Save the configuration changes. Perform one of the following:

  1. Click Apply to save the changes without closing the form.

  2. Click OK to save the changes and close the form.

  3. Click Finish to save the changes in a step form.

  4. Click Cancel or Close to close the form without saving the changes.

    Note: Using the Ctrl-F4 keys to close a form may cause problems if the parent form is open. Nokia recommends that you do not use Ctrl-F4 to close a form that is contained by another form or that has a parent form.

Some forms display warnings or require confirmation before changes are committed. You can configure user preferences to suppress some confirmation messages; see To configure NFM-P user preferences .
