# Configuration Setup
{% hint style="warning" %}
This page is under reconstruction
{% endhint %}
**Smart Views configuration window:**
Let's go through each of the columns.
**Create Detail View** - turn ON to create the selected view when using this configuration
**View Count** - select how many of the same view should be created
{% hint style="info" %}
In Smart Views, it is not possible to have the same Type of Views, like Front, Top, etc. with the same View Templates. If you try to do that, you get this message:
{% endhint %}
To avoid that, change the View Template:
**View** - type of View that you want to create: Front, Top, Left, etc., plus flipped versions of vertical and horizontal sections, like Detail Section Left (B), Detail Section Back (A), and Plan Detail Up.
**View Type** - select view Type. This could be used to use special heads, tails for these Detail Views or using specific Type name will be easier to setup filters to show/hide them in project views.
**View Name** - Type in the name of the view.
**View Template** - Select the View Template that should be used for the selected view to control visibility settings for that view.
**Dimensioning Rule** - Select dimensioning rules for every view.
{% hint style="info" %}
Dimensioning Rules uses **Smart Dimensions** configurations. Read more about [**Smart Dimensions here**](/common-for-several-products/smart-dimensions.md).
You can open the Smart Dimensions windows by clicking the **Edit Dimensioning Rules** button.
{% endhint %}
**Tagging Configuration** - Tag elements, defined in Tagging rules
{% hint style="info" %}
Read more [**Smart Tags here**](/common-for-several-products/smart-tags.md).
{% endhint %}
Additional Configuration properties
**Isolate Selected** - hides all, except selected element.
**Isolate Selected Categories** - hides all, except selected categories.
**Include Hosted Elements** - used together with previous two options, this keeps hosted elements visible in the view.
**Crop Region Visible** - by default, crop view is Hidden; if you want to see it, turn this option ON.
**Ignore Identical** - works with Create View command. Ignores identical elements in a group of selected elements. Compares only between selected elements, not all elements in the project. E.g. - select 20 structural framing elements, select Create Views, it will create views only for unique elements.
**Dimension isolated element** - available only if Isolate Selected is turned on. This will apply one of the Smart Dimensions features in all views of the isolated element. It has its own configurations. Such dimensions can't be created with general Smart Dimensions configurations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/common-for-several-products/smart-views/configuration-setup.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
