Customizing CMS Commands

The CMS Support Module permits you to modify many properties for each CMS command, using the NetBeans VCS Command Editor and Variable Editor.

Note The default settings for these advanced options are usually optimal. Use caution with any change to an existing command as it may cause the CMS Explorer to stop functioning.

The Command Editor is accessible from the Advanced tab on the Configuration dialog box. This editor allows you to modify the properties of existing commands, add new commands, or delete existing commands as necessary.

You can configure the command settings by clicking the labels in the left column and entering data in the right column.
