Configure Global Settings

If you have the 'Admin: Manage iConsole' privilege, you can configure global settings for all iConsole users.

To configure global settings

1. Click the Settings link in the top right of the iConsole screen.

   The Settings dialog appears.

2. Click the Global tab.
3. Configure the global settings as required. Available settings are shown on the following subpages:

   Audit

   These settings control iConsole audit behavior. For example, you can specify whether focus automatically moves to the next event after auditing and events are removed from the results screen after being audited.

   Printing

   These settings determine whether printed search results include the event text content, summary details, and extended information.

   Search

   These settings control how search results are displayed. For example, you can specify the number of results per page and whether result rows can display multiple lines of text.

   If your iConsole supports content searches, you can specify which content proxy server to use.

   Home Page

   These settings configure the default behaviour for iConsole home pages.

   Show Home Page

   Specifies whether a home page is displayed when a user logs in to the iConsole.

   Users can change their personal settings if they do not want a homepage (unless you enforce this global setting).

   Non-Admin Users Can Define Portlets

   Specifies whether users are permitted to define their own portlets.

   Note: 'Non-Admin Users' are users who do not have the Admin: Manage iConsole privilege.

   Allow Portlet Auto Refresh

   Specifies whether portlets on the home page refresh automatically.

   Excluded Portlet Types

   Specifies which portlet types are available for inclusion on the home page.

4. (Optional) Select the Enforce checkboxes for individual settings to override personal preferences defined by users, or to fix preferences so that users cannot modify them.

   Changes made to global settings become effective when a user next logs on to the iConsole. Enforced settings are grayed out in the user's personal Settings dialog.

   Example: If you always want to remove an event after a user has updated the event audit details, select the associated Enforce check box to fix this audit setting for all users.

5. (Optional) Click Change Password to reset your CA DataMinder password. You must enter this password when you log onto any CA DataMinder console.
6. Note: The Change Password button does not appear if you use Single-Sign On.
7. Click the OK button.

   The global settings are active.
