Configuring Visual Attributes

From your workstation, you can configure the visual attributes of the CA Automation Point messages displayed in the Web MV main window. The attributes that you configure are then saved as part of the user profile.

For each subsequent user connection, Web MV displays the message tables as specified in the user profile. The attributes you can configure are:

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

Keep these tips in mind when configuring visual message attributes:

• Visual attribute configurations are saved in your user profile on a per-user, per-session basis
• You can configure visual attributes on a per-table basis, allowing action messages to be different in appearance from normal messages
• Visual attribute settings for a specific table applies to all messages contained in that table You can determine the foreground color of a message by mapping the message color assigned by CA Automation Point rules to a user-selected color. You can perform this mapping through a configuration dialog on the Web MV main window. Color mapping is stored on a per-user, per-session basis. For information on how to choose the columns you want to display, see the section Message Color Mapping in this chapter.
• Time format is stored only on a per-user basis and is shared across all sessions.

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