Disclosed herein are a variety of systems and methods that may be utilized to facilitate the configuration of intelligent electronic devices (IED) and other devices. In one embodiment, a configurable IED may be able to perform a plurality of features. The plurality of features may be enabled by a plurality of functional modules configured to implement the plurality of features. A feature-selecting subsystem configured to receive a first feature-selecting filter and to apply the first feature-selecting filter to selectively enable a subset of a plurality of features based on the feature-selecting filter. The subset of the plurality of features may be associated with a plurality of feature configuration settings. A feature configuration subsystem configured to receive at least one configuration filter and to set at least a subset of the plurality of feature configuration settings.
