Configuration Views
This module provides allows site builders to create Views that are lists of Configuration. For example, a site builder can create lists of Roles, Menus, Image Styles, Content Types, Views, and so on.
These lists can then be filtered and sorted, and turned into pages, exported in other formats, used as targets for Entity Reference fields, and so on - ie, leveraging the power of Views.
The module comes also replaces admin list/manage pages of configuration entities (e.g content types, view modes, etc) with views so they can be subsequent customized to suit your purposes.
