Introduction to Application Settings

Security administrators use application settings to customize some key areas that users see in the application. Examples are the number of rows and columns that display per page in views, the default captions for measure items, the size and font of text in the left panel, the number of objects displayed per page in list windows, the default formatting for planning updates made in planning views, and the default subject prefix for use in action emails when no data exists in action results. Other settings impact some behind-the-scenes operations. An example are settings for Analysis Services connection pools allotted to Stratum.Viewer users.

Examples

Here are caption expression settings. The expressions here impact the text used to represent measure items in views and a few windows in the application.

This view has regular measures item with time ranges, and the captions were left set to the default shown above.

Here are some of the settings that impact the left panel. This example shows where to change the font and color of view names. There are separate settings for view group names.

Here are settings that control how many objects display per page in windows where lists of objects display, such as the window for editing hierarchies on rows and columns. The example below has the page size set to 150, which means up to 150 objects will display per page.

Here are the page controls in the window for editing hierarchies on rows. There are not 150 hierarchies in this case, so all of them are returned in a single page.

 If the Page Size setting were at a smaller number such as 25, then these page control settings would be activated so you could browse back and forth between each page.
