Technical documentation - Server wide user settings for all Managers
Some of the user settings in Manager applications are possible to define as server wide user settings. This will make the setting apply for all users connecting to that server.
Such settings are only possible to change by starting Manager on the server and connecting directly (not to the server).
Version 5.1. This function is available in version 5.1 and later.
In some versions the config file user-settings.config is mandatory but not generated automatically.
Changing settings
Start Manager application on the server. Ensure Manager accesses the server directly by checking the options dialogue.
Settings that can be changed are
General / Server
SMTP-settings
Appearance / Initiate new node to inherit presentations
Appearance / Enable template for creating new catalogue
Appearance / Specification count limit
Appearance / Apply persistent id to create catalogue from template
