Configuration​

Configuration takes place through the configuration panel, that is always on the right side of the main panel. Most SFCodeBlocks include their own dedicated configuration panels. However, there are some that do not require configuring and therefore, do not have a related configuration panel. Depending on the SFCodeBlock that you select, you may be required to configure an expression, calculation, printer format, etc.
