Edit Pools window
Use this window to edit pool properties. If you want to change multiple properties for a pool two
or more times, wait until the current task finishes, and then change the next settings. If you attempt
to change settings before the current task finishes, only the settings in the next task will be applied,
so the result might be different from what you expected.
