Configuring Web Client : Overview : Prerequisites for Using the Cumulus Web Client : Web Client Configuration
  
Web Client Configuration
Behavior and appearance of the Web Client are controlled via the Web Client Configurator which is a Module of the Web Server Console. The configuration options offered by the Web Client Configurator and the handling is described in the following sections. This section lists the minimal/initial configuration tasks that must be performed in order to use the Web Client.
To use the Web Client Configurator, open the Web Server Console and select Web Client Configurator.
Select a Record View Set and a Category View Set to be used
What
The Record View set – referred to as File View in the Cumulus Web Client – affects file overview pages as well as file profile pages. The Category View set – referred to as Container View in the Cumulus Web Client – only affects container profile pages
How:
On the Layout tab of the Web Client Configurator (see “The Layout Tab” ), select the Record View Set / Category View sets that shall be mandatory for all users of the Cumulus Web Client, or allow the user to change the view(s) individually.
NOTE: Canto recommends to use View Set that are specially adapted for the use with the Web Client.
Keep in mind that View Sets are subject to certain restrictions when used with the Web Client:
• The number-of-lines setting for the display of a field (via the Properties of a field in a view) does not take effect with the Web Client.
• Color settings for fields (via the Properties of a field in a view) do not take effect with the Web Client.
• Layout settings in Category View Sets (colors, fonts, etc.) are ignored by the Web Client.
• Certain fields are always displayed by the Web Client, regardless of whether they are or are not included in a Record View Set. This applies to the fields Thumbnail, Record Name, File Format Type, as well as Item Modification Date and Item Modification User (these two are displayed together as Last edit: <date> at <time> by <user> with each asset in the Report View).
TIP: Suppress the Display of the Last Edit Information
You may suppress the display of the last edit information in the Web Client’s Report view. To do so, edit the cwc-config.xml file, located under the following path in the Web Solution Installation folder: ..\Cumulus Web Solutions\apache-tomcat-x.y.z\webapps\cwc\WEB-INF\conf.
Inside the <layout> section there is an element that controls whether this information is displayed or not:
<view name="list-report" showLastModified="true"/>
To suppress the last edit information, change the value from true (default) to false.
