 +=== Configuration Files - Minimising Duplicate Code ===
 +
 +When creating multiple [[object:customer|Customers]] with identical [[object:media|Media Types]] and/or [[object:repository|Repositories]] it is possible to create a configuration file with these Attributes and include it in the master configuration file to save duplication of code blocks.
 +
 +To create two customers, US01 and US02, with:
 +  * [[object:media|Media-ID]]: LTO, [[object:media|Media Description]]: LTO Cartridge.
 +  * [[object:media|Media-ID]]: 3490, [[object:media|Media Description]]: IBM 3490 Cartridge.

 +
 +<note tip>A configuration file may “include” the contents of another file using an include directive. 
 +
 +This directive has the effect of in-lining the contents of the named file at the point of inclusion.
 +
 +An include directive must appear on its own line in the input. It has the form:
 +
 +@include "filename"
 +
 +Any backslashes or double quotes in the filename must be escaped as ‘\\’ and ‘\"’, respectively.</note>
