Configuring Visual Attributes

From your workstation, you can configure the visual attributes of the CA Automation Point messages that are displayed in the Web MV main window. The attributes that you configure can then be saved as part of the user profile. Each time a remote user successfully authenticates with the Web MV server, the default profile for that user is downloaded and applied to the Web MV user interface. The first time a specific user connects to the Web MV server, a generic profile is created and stored as the default profile for that user. For each subsequent user connection, Web MV displays the message tables as specified in the last active profile for that user. The visual attributes that you can configure are:

• Message font
• Message table columns
• Message color
• Time format

Keep in mind these tips when configuring visual message attributes:

• Visual attribute configurations are automatically saved in your default user profile when the Web MV user interface is closed. You can manually load or save sets of visual attributes as a named profile by using the Load / Save Configuration Profile dialog.
• You can configure visual attributes on a per-table basis, allowing action messages to be different in their appearance from normal messages
• Visual attribute settings for a specific message table apply to all messages contained within that table. You can determine the foreground color of a message by mapping the message color that rules assigns to a user-selected color. You can perform this mapping through a configuration dialog on the Web MV main window. For information on how to choose the columns you want to display, see the section Message Color Mapping.

The following sections provide detailed descriptions of the visual attributes that you can configure with Web MV.
