Help with 7d Mark II WB

I was wondering if someone who help me clarify the WB temperature setting on my new 7d Mark II.

When i click on the WB button and dial it to color temperature (K). I can't figure out how to change the temperature. If I go directly into the camera menu and select white balance, the top dial can be used to change the temperature.

Why is that? Am I missing something. My old 7d and 5d did not have this problem.
