Navigating By Groups

Situation: You want to view the settings in logically organized groups. A phone software configuration may include a lot of information that is not relevant in variant customization, from the end users' point of view. Therefore, CPFs are customized to show you only the settings that are relevant to you. These settings are organized into meaningful groups that Carbide.v displays you in its navigator. The navigator displays you main category and setting groups that assist you in finding the relevant customizable settings.
  1. Select the main category (the large icons on the left).
  2. Carbide.v lists the setting group titles beside the category icon.
  3. Select the setting group of your interest.
Carbide.v opens the selected group of settings in the software proposal form.
If you did not find the setting you were looking for, use the Search.
