Emailing File Options

The email properties set here affect all users, and all of these settings can be overridden by the user at run time.

Override considerations

• All of the options listed here are only defaults and can all be overridden at runtime by the user from the email dialog.
• Certain options can be overridden by Role settings:
  • If the user’s Role is not allowed to email, the default options listed here do not affect that user. For more information, see Edit Role Properties - Report Actions
  • The default Text or PDF option can be overridden by options in a user’s Role.

    If the user’s Role is not allowed to email text reports as PDFs, a default file type of PDF is automatically overridden to be text. Alternately, if the user’s Role is not allowed to email files as Text, the default Text to PDF option will be PDF.

  • The options are the default options for email each time a user logs into CA OM Web Viewer.

    However, each time the user changes one of the options at the email dialog, that option will remain changed for the rest of his session, unless he changes it again.

    The option will be reset to this default when the user logs out and logs back in.

Default File Type

When emailing a mainframe text report from CA OM Web Viewer, users can convert the mainframe text report to PDF or output the report as text.

Some users are allowed this option, based on the user’s Role. However, if the user is allowed this option, this setting will choose the default option for them.

Those users who are allowed to change this option can change it from the default, but each time they log into CA OM Web Viewer the "Default File Type" setting will be set back to this default.

PDF Options

The options selected on this panel are the default options used when any user opens the email document popup.

Note: This setting will only affect users in Roles that permit them to convert text file to PDFs for an email. When a user who has PDF permissions is emailing a mainframe text document, the user can convert the document to PDF format, and is able to set several PDF options.

The PDF options include defaults for PDF font size, Page Orientation, and an option to use Green Bar background.

Follow these steps to set Emailing File Default Options

1. From the Administration Tab, click the Preferences subtab:
2. Click the Output Defaults link.
