How to add Configuration?

External Channel Types can have Global and Venue level Configuration fields, configured and managed by an Administrator.

Each Configuration field has the following properties:

• API Field (e.g. store_id)
• Name (e.g. Store ID)
• Value (only in the case of Global configuration fields, otherwise this is at a Venue level)

• Click ADD CONFIGURATION in the Configuration section

• Add Configuration modal appears

• Apply to: Select Global
• Display Name: Configuration name displayed
• API Field: (e.g. external_channel_name_id)
