Save/Save As

Once the desired configuration parameters have been set, two options are available to save the settings:

Save
- If Custom Config is selected from the Unit Template dropdown list, saved settings will apply to only the selected Unit.
- If a Unit Configuration Template is selected from the Unit Template dropdown list, saved settings will apply to all Units with that configuration.
Save As - Use this feature to create a new template from the selected settings and apply to the selected Unit. This helps avoid accidentally changing the configuration of all Units with an assigned template. This is also helpful when testing one or two changes on an existing template with one Unit.
