URL Alias

I've been trying to make this work with limited success. I have looked at http://forum.opencart.com/index.php/topic,2738.0.html which is helpful but I cannot get beyond the "Remastering" which does work. Before I get too detailed, a quick question. After setting URL Alias to 'yes' in Shop, should the list on Configuration>URL Alias page be automatically created or is that done manually per product/page?

Thanks,
Dave

the "Remastering" part is done automatically

Normal:
http://www.example.com/?controller=product&product_id=1

Remastered(automatic):
http://www.example.com/product/product_id/1

Alias(set up manually or generated with the url alias generator contrib):
http://www.example.com/customname.html

Good to know. I got the standard feature to work. I'll check out the contrib when I can.

Thanks for all the help.
