Out of the box we deliver C:\ProgramData\Bentley\<applicationName>\WorkSpace\Standards\standards.cfg.
This file lists a series of configuration variables that add paths to some of the sub-folders of ...\Workspace\Standards\
The list is fairly short and does not include some crucial items such as the site DGNLIB location.
In practice quite a lot needs to be added to this file.
Suggestions will be made in the subsequent posts.
The first thing to add is a well structured header.
You need to keep track of any changes once a configuration is in production. You can do this in external files or just add revision notes to the file header.
A table of contents is also useful, it's only a text file so not smart linking, but even so knowing that a particular section is near the end of the file helps when scrolling through.
Here is an example:
