The DTN ProphetX Settings have a tree-like structure for easy browsing. As shown in the sample below, it looks somewhat like an outline, with topics on the left that you can expand and collapse.

A plus sign (+) to the left of a topic folder indicates that there are sub-topics within it. Click the plus sign to expand the topic and view additional topics below. When a topic folder is expanded, a minus sign replaces the plus sign. To collapse the topic folder and hide its contents, click on the minus sign.

Click a topic heading and its settings will appear on the right side of the screen.
