Capturing+Configurations.doc

Word Doc - instructions on how to use Google Developer tools to capture JSON when you are configuring FOLIO settings. Because FOLIO settings are not backed up into the LDP, it's a good idea to keep a copy of the work you are doing, unless you know that your hosting environment is doing it for you.
