Configuration settings

With the variables of the Configuration settings, the system can be adapted according to individual requirements (e.g.: colors, sizes, time intervals, display options, standard values).

The keys are displayed as a list. The list contains the Category, Name, Configured value, and Default value.

The Default value column contains the value that, for example after a new installation of the system. The Configured value column displays a possible change to the default value. This change is made in the Customize value window, which is opened by double-clicking on the corresponding line.

If the default values are changed, the Reset to default value button appears after calling the Customize value window. This restores the original configuration.

Example:

In the Isonet.446Platform category, the Name UseCaseInsteadOfTicket can be used to replace the designation Ticket by Case. To do this, the default value (False) must be set to True and saved with the button Save.

Warning:

The default values should be changed with caution. Improper use can result in significant system problems.

Illustration of the Configuration Settings (ConfigSettings)

In the master database, you can find two tables containing configuration settings for the 446 Plattform®. The table ConfigSettingsSystem contains settings concerning the system and the table ConfigSettingsClient contains settings that can be configured for every client separately. Both tables include, amongst others, the columns NameSpace, Key, Value, and Default Value. In addition to that, the table ConfigSettingsClient contains the column ClientObjectGuid.

You should never change the column Default Value; it contains the values that are set as a default after a new installation of the system. In the column Value, you can enter the configuration you want to set on your system. If you change the settings for a client in the table ConfigSettingsClient, you have to make sure that the column ClientObjectGuid contains the correct value for the designated client. You can find this distinct ID in the same database in the table Client.

The keys under Settings > Administration > Configuration Settings are displayed as a list.

The meaning of the individual keys as well as their customization options can be found in the two following tables. They are listed for the client and the system separately here.
