Sometimes when some feature requires many different settings, they are written in a cloze-like text, where the gaps (=variables) are displayed as comboboxes or hyperlinks which open some kind of lookup list.

The Outlook rules wizard is another good example of this.

'Rule editor', perhaps? That's the OS X term, anyway.
