Ion Configuration Manager Overview
Ion Configuration Manager enables you to create the Ion project files containing Profiles, Rules, and Settings that are deployed to client PCs. This section looks at the various elements of Ion Configuration Manager. ’
Ion Configuration Manager must be run with elevated, administrator privilege as it writes to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry hive and Windows system directories to enable Java remediation. It will prompt for elevated privilege automatically.
Ion Configuration Manager is designed with the look and feel of an MMC snap-in, with three main functional areas:
Objects Pane (Left) — Tree view containing Project and Tools nodes
Content Pane (Center) — Main data and content window
Actions Pane (Right) — Contextual links for common tasks and steps
Some data entry fields will display an 
icon in the lower right hand corner of the text entry field. Clicking this link on any screen will open the extended and powerful text editor. The text editor is provided for easily working with complex text fields, as well as offering syntactical highlighting for easy and readable visual layout. When done editing using the text editor, simply click the OK or Cancel buttons to save (or discard) changes made.
The Actions Pane contains regularly used and context related common functions. The Add, Edit, Delete, Copy, Cut, Paste items appear in the Actions Pane based on the specific task being completed. The behavior of these items is the same in all scenarios. Some interfaces may not support items such as Copy and Paste, and will not be displayed.
See the Project Node, Profiles Node, Rules Manager Node, Project Settings Node and Tools Node sections for a detailed description of each Objects Pane.
