Creating a new layer

A Configuration Project can contain any number of layer folders, each representing a set of settings and customizable resources produced in certain phase of configuration process. Names of these layers can be arbitrary. Each layer contains at least the following folders confml, implml, content and doc. Confml folder contains confml files, implml folder contains implementation files, content folder contains customizable resources and doc folder contains documentation files.

To create a new layer:

  1. Right-click the project name and select New > Configuration layer.
  2. Specify the name of the layer (e.g. s60).
  3. Click Finish. The layer is added to the project, as shown in the following example. It contains only empty folders.
  4. Add layer root file by selecting the layer and right-click New > Configuration file (s60.confml in the picture). The layer root file will usually include all confml files in the layer.
