• In either layout, right-click on the last selected device. The right-click menu opens.

Note: In a Table layout, a series of devices can be selected by holding down the Shift-key while selecting devices. Or, i n a Table or Diagram layout, multiple devices can be selected by holding the Ctrl key while selecting devices.

Select Editors, then Configlet. The Configlet Editor window opens. Or, in the menu bar, click the Configlet icon.
