The Configuration option is used to manage the appearance of the panel.
Numerous configurations may be created and selected to allow for different views of the same data to be used.
For example, you may create a separate configuration for the body of a catalog (e.g. Products by Category) as well as one where all products are listed in alphabetical/numerical order (e.g. Product by ProductCode).
