The following table describes the fields on the Create New Configuration window.

> Table 7-1 Create New Configuration

Field | Description
--- | ---
Configuration Name | Enter the name of your application. The Configuration Expert automatically appends a`.ce` suffix to the configuration name for the application configuration file
Location | Enter a full path name to indicate where you want this new file to reside. By default, the Configuration Expert expects to store configuration files as <`ConfigExpertDirectory>config\``myconfig``.ce`. If you specify a different location, the Configuration Expert will then use the location you specify as the default. (In other words, you have the option to change this default every time you create a new configuration file.) You can use the file browse button to the right of the Location field to browse directories and select a location.

#### Description

This window allows you to specify where you want the new application to reside.

Once you click on OK, this will bring up the Application Properties window. If the Local Machine is Master Machine option is selected, the Machine Properties window will also open up. You will need to specify information in these windows also to create the new configuration.

#### Buttons

When you have filled in the fields, click OK to close the window and save your changes. (Or click Cancel to close the window without saving your changes.)
