Locating a setting in AdminCP
To jump straight to a setting:
- Navigate to AdminCP > Setup > Options > [MC] Downloads Manager.
- Click the tab listed in the table above.
- Use your browser's find-in-page (Ctrl-F or Cmd-F) on the setting label.
Option ID appendix (for developers)
Each setting is also backed by an option ID in the form mcDownloadsManager_<name> (camelCase). Option IDs only matter if you are scripting against the option store or reading audit log details that include a developer field. The pages linked above show both the label and the ID.
