In the
default Details view, the link to each of these features is presented by an icon, its name,
and a description. The ability to filter the features you want displayed makes this user interface
much more user friendly than previous interfaces. Double-click the feature name
to access the various properties that can be configured for that feature. Depending on the
data that the feature is presenting, it can take on the appearance of one of three different
page layouts: List, Property Grid, and Dialog.
A List page layout is typically used when a list of items needs to be presented. For
example, if you double-click the MIME Types feature icon, a list of all the MIME types
defined on your Web site are presented in a list (Figure 6-5). A Property Grid layout is used
to display various properties that can be configured. Property displays can use Friendly
Names and Configuration Names as well as values. You can select whether you want the
Property Grid to display the Friendly Names or the Configuration Names, or even both,
by selecting the display type from the Display drop-down list at the top of the Property
Grid (Figure 6-6). Friendly Names are user-friendly names that make it easier for the user
of the interface to understand what properties are being set. Configuration Names are the
internal configuration property names that the server actually uses in its configuration.
