Sharing configuration properties

Configuration properties can defined both in the product definition or in a separate file.

Configuration Properties are grouped in named collections to make it easier to group related configuration properties.

In the example above the properties relating to the serial port are grouped in the ‘ConfPort’ collection and properties relating to the motor are grouped in the ‘ConfMotor’ collection.

Putting configuration properties in separate files are recommended when using SeqZap since it makes it easier to adapt to future changes in project structure.

In this scenario it is not possible for Alpha and Beta to have separate serial port configuration properties, it is possible for each user to change the configuration properties (saved in the .usersettings file).

Configuration properties can always be changed when using SeqZap on the command line.
