You can make a number of settings on the configuration page of the ELO Web Client.

Configuration sets

The different settings are separated into groups. These groups are called Configuration sets.

The ELO main administrator automatically has the right to manage all configuration sets and has the option of assigning or removing users and option groups to or from configuration sets.

Information: Each user only sees the settings that were assigned to them the configuration sets. Only the administrator sees the sets.

The following configuration sets exist:

• Red circle: Refers to administrative settings that have a far-reaching impact. This set should be restricted to administrators.
• Blue circle: Refers to the settings that have a significant impact.
• Green circle: Refers to settings that do not have a significant impact.

Who do these settings apply for?

First, you need to select who you want to change the settings for. The following modes are available:

Create configuration for user/group: The settings apply for a certain user or user in an option group. To choose this mode, click the Create configuration for user/group button and choose a user or an option group.

Create global configuration: The settings apply for all users. Click the Create global configuration button to select this mode. The Configuration for: Everyone (global) text appears in the menu bar on the left.

Create my configuration: All settings only apply to your own account. Click the Create my configuration button to choose this mode.

Setting for your own user account

In the following, we will explain the basic principles for changing settings for your own user account.

1. Click Create my configuration.

2. Choose a category, such as the category Display.

The category appears.

3. Click the setting that you want to change.

On the right side, an overview of the currently selected entry appears. The overview includes the following items:

<Name of the setting>: Here, you see which setting the overview applies to as well as a short explanation of the selected setting.

Inheritance hierarchy of the settings: The ELO Web Client verifies which settings apply for which user at three levels. If there is an individual setting for a user, ELO uses this setting. If there are no individual settings for a user, the ELO Web Client checks whether the user is a member of an option group. If this is the case, the settings of the option group apply. The default values apply if no settings have been assigned.

4. Make the desired changes.

Each change is applied immediately without having to save them.

Settings for other users

In the following, we will explain the basic principles for changing settings for other users or for option groups. The following steps are therefore only relevant for users (administrators) who have the right to change settings for other users.

1. Choose whether you want to make settings for another user, an option group or for all users.

2. Choose a category, such as the category Keywording.

The category appears. Settings that are set to the default for the selected user/group appear grayed out.

3. Click the check box in front of the setting that you want to change.

The setting is now no longer grayed out and can be edited.

Warning: When you have changed a setting, leave the check box to the far left selected. If you clear the check box, the ELO Web Client restores the default settings.

On the right side, an overview of the currently selected entry appears. The overview includes the following items:

<Name of the setting>: Here, you see which setting the overview applies to as well as a short explanation of the selected setting.

Inheritance hierarchy of the settings: The ELO Web Client verifies which settings apply for which user at three levels. If there is an individual setting for a user, ELO uses this setting. If there are no individual settings for a user, the ELO Web Client checks whether the user is a member of an option group. If this is the case, the settings of the option group apply. The default values apply if no settings have been assigned.

Individual settings of the users: This item only appears if you create a configuration for an option group. Use the Remove individual settings button to make sure that all users of an option group have indeed been assigned the same settings.

Please note: The Remove individual settings action is required if the members of an option group have previously had access to certain settings. If the administrator now removes a configuration set from an option group, this option group has fewer settings to choose from. However, changes made up to this point must be overwritten once.

4. Make the desired changes.

Each change is applied immediately without having to save them.

Reset my view data

Use the Reset my view data button on the menu bar to reset the view data for the currently selected active account to default values. The view data includes table settings, window sizes and positions.

1. Click the Reset my view data button.

The Reset my view data dialog box appears.

2. Click Reset my view data.

The ELO Web Client is reloaded with the default values for the view data.

Categories

The settings on the configuration page are divided into categories. When you open a category, you see the settings of the selected category. The settings are grouped by topic within the category.

Refer to the following sections of this chapter for further information on the individual categories.
