BlueZone dialog configuration profiles

Many BlueZone configuration dialogs have toolbar icons that you can use to save, import, and export configuration files for values associated with that specific dialog. You can save subsets of session configurations and transfer them between sessions or users. These files are called dialog configuration profiles.

Dialog configuration profiles commonly used are keyboard map settings, color settings, and session settings.

The dialog configuration profile toolbar is located in either the upper right or lower left corner of the dialog.

From left to right, the toolbar functions are:

Default: Opens the default dialog configuration profile.
File Open (Import File): Open an existing dialog configuration profile.
File Save As (Export File): Save a new dialog configuration profile.
Help: Opens the help system to the relevant topic.

Any BlueZone dialog that contains a dialog configuration profile toolbar can have that dialog's settings defaulted, imported, or exported to a file (as a subset of the main BlueZone configuration file) with its own file extension. Dialog configuration profiles for each dialog have unique file extensions. Refer to Dialog-level configuration profile extensions for a complete listing of the dialog configuration profile file extensions.

Dialog configuration profiles can also be used with the following BlueZone features:

Profiles schemes. Refer to Profile schemes for detailed information on how to use dialog configuration profiles to override BlueZone configuration settings.
Command line switches. Refer to Starting a session with a dialog configuration file using the /R command line switch for more information on how to use the dialog command line switch feature.
Hiding toolbar buttons. Refer to Configuring the dialog configuration profile locks for information on how to hide some or all of the dialog configuration profile buttons.

Hotkey support

In addition to being able to start the various functions from the toolbar icons, you can also invoke these functions from a keyboard Hotkey.
