Console preferences settings

Use the Console Preferences page to specify how you want features of the administrative console workspace to behave.

To view this administrative console page, click System administration > Console preferences.

Turn on workspace automatic refresh

Specifies whether you want the administrative console workspace to refresh automatically after the administrative configuration changes.

The default is for the workspace to refresh automatically. If you delete a WebSphere® variable, for example, the WebSphere variables page refreshes automatically and shows the updated list of WebSphere variables in the WebSphere variables collection.

Specifying that the workspace not refresh automatically means that you must access a page again by clicking the console navigation tree or links on collection pages to see the changes that are made to the administrative configuration.

Default true (selected)

No confirmation on workspace discard

Specifies whether the confirmation dialog is displayed after a request is received to discard the workspace. The default is to display confirmation dialogs.

Default false (cleared)

Use default scope

Specifies whether the default scope is the administrative console node.

All scopes is the default unless you enable the Use default scope setting to make the administrative console node the default. Whatever the default is the first time that you view a console panel that has scope settings, that is the default for the panel on subsequent visits that you make to the panel. The default for the panel does not change even if you modify the Use default scope setting.

Default false (cleared)

Show the help portlet

Specifies whether the help portlet on the right of the console displays.

Default true (selected)

Enablement of this option is recommended for non-production environments only.

Default false (cleared)
