ShareScan settings
The Settings area specifies properties that apply to all devices connected to the current ShareScan Manager. Clicking the Settings button brings up the UI in the viewing panel as a property grid with various categories.
Configure Settings
The control used to display the data is a property grid, which is typically displayed with categories and properties. The categories are in bold with no controls on the right hand side of the grid. Each category can have one or more properties and can contain multiple sub-categories. Clicking each property enables its control for typing (if it is an editable field) or for selection.
