7.4. Configure Run
The global-workflow configs contain switches that change how the system runs. Many defaults are set initially. Users wishing to run with different settings should adjust their $EXPDIR configs and then rerun the setup_workflow.py script since some configuration settings/switches change the workflow/xml (“Adjusts XML” column value is “YES”).
