User settings for display

The User settings for display site preferences define general display settings for all users. Individual users can set their user preferences to override these site preferences.

Note: In Workplace XT, some preference settings display an information icon Information icon denoting that the preference is used only by the Workplace XT secondary pages.

Default list view

A list of documents is called a list view. The Default list view site preference sets the list view to magazine or detailed style. A user can set a different preference and dynamically switch between list styles while viewing any list.

Confirmation page visibility

The Confirmation page visibility site preference determines whether a confirmation page is displayed at the end of the wizard after adding or checking in a document or other object. The default is Show. Setting this preference to Hide turns off display of the confirmation page. Users can set their own preference, overriding what the administrator sets in site preferences.

Note: If your site has installed and enabled IBM® InfoSphere™ Enterprise Records, you can ignore this setting.

Show system properties view expanded

The Show system properties view expanded site preference determines whether the system properties are initially collapsed (hidden) or expanded (visible) when you first open a page that displays properties, such as the properties view of the information page. When you enable this setting, the properties are expanded until the user clicks Hide System Properties. By default, this setting is disabled.

Individual users can override this setting with user preferences.

Date format

The Date format site preference determines how dates are displayed. The actual display is dependent on both the format selected and the locale settings on the computer used to access the application. For example, a Windows computer can be set to use English (United States) or French (Canada), and any dates would be formatted to be consistent with the selected locale.

You can select from the following formats:

The default setting is Short (MM/d/yy).

Note: The date and time display are also affected by the Edit date properties preference and the Time Zone preference.

Time format

The Time format site preference determines how times are displayed in the application. The actual display is dependent on both the format selected and the locale settings on the computer used to access the application. For example, a Windows computer can be set to use English (United States) or French (Canada), and the time format display would adjust for the selected locale.

You can select from the following formats:

Note: The date and time display are also affected by the Edit date properties preference and the Time Zone preference.

Time zone

The Time zone site preference determines which time zone is used to display dates and times in the application. You can select from one of the following options:

It is best if each client sets a specific GMT time zone. If application server is unable to determine the time zone being used by the client's browser, the following criteria are used:

Always show folder filtering

The Always show folder filtering site preference determines if folder filtering criteria are applied and displayed when users browse folders. When Always show folder filtering is enabled, the browse page includes controls for the user to search for documents or custom objects that meet property criteria. By default, this setting is enabled.

The Always show folder filtering preference works with the Folder filter settings, which limit the number of items returned from Content Engine for display in the application. The filtering criteria controls are not visible to the user when the folder contains fewer objects than specified by the display limit setting.

The user preference settings for Always show folder filtering override the site preferences setting.

Default search view

The Default search view site preference determines which search view appears when the user selects the Search page for the first time in a session. Simple Search or Search Templates are the two views from which you can choose a default setting.

The user can override this site preference by choosing another default search view in user preferences.

Search selection mode

The Search selection mode site preference determines the way searches are displayed. Searches can be displayed as a flat list or in folder navigation. The flat list displays the object stores and all searches stored within. The folder navigation displays the object stores; you navigate to the folders that contain all searches stored within their respective folders.

The user can override this site preference by choosing another search mode in user preferences.

Default home page

The Default home page site preference determines which primary view page users see when they first log in. The user can override this site preference by choosing another default home page in user preferences.
