Reference: |
You can set personal options for your Dashboard view from the Personalize Options window. You can choose which domains are displayed when you log on to Dashboard, how to display and implement pop-up menu functionality, and select from several other user options.
Setting user options is not available for Public or Group views.
To personalize your Dashboard view, access the Personalize Options window, shown in the following image, by selecting the Personalize link in the banner, and then selecting Options from the submenu that appears.
The Personalize Options window contains the following three sections: General Settings, Domain Tree, and Popup Menu.
If the enable menu option is set to Yes, a user can select menu event type options that control how the pop-up menu is displayed. The menu event type options available in the drop-down list are On Right Click and On Hover. On Right Click is the default setting which causes the pop-up menu to be displayed using the right mouse button instead of the left mouse button. Additionally, selecting this option enables a user to perform the default option when left clicking the mouse while also viewing the pop-up menu with a right click. The On Hover setting enables a user to view the pop-up menu when the mouse pointer hovers over an item that yields a menu.
Note: Popup Menu settings affect how the pop-up menu is displayed for the Domain Tree and the Role Tree. The Banner Link items, which include Tools, Personalize, Utilities, and Help, are accessed only by Left Click. Popup Menu settings also affect the display of Domain items in a List or Folder block.
At the bottom of the Personalize Options window, there are buttons you can use to Save, Set Defaults, Reset, and Cancel.
The Personalize Options settings can be changed for a specific site by editing the bid-user-preferences.xml file located in the worp/conf directory. After making changes to this file, the WebFOCUS Web application must be reloaded.
Each user inherits a copy of the bid-user-preferences.xml file the first time they connect to Dashboard. Each user's personal settings are stored in the user-prefernces.xml file of their own directory in worp_users. Any changes to the original bid-user-preferences.xml file does not affect preferences of a user that are stored in their own personal files.
