Administering CA Output Management Web Viewer › Preferences › Setting Output Defaults › File Saving

File Saving

These settings are the default options for file saving. Normally, the user can overwrite these options when saving a file.

Override considerations

• All of the options listed here are only defaults and can all be overridden at run time by the user from the email dialog.
• Certain options can be overridden by Role settings:
  • If the user’s Role is not allowed to save files, 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 save 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 save files as Text, the default Text to PDF option will be PDF.

  • The options are the default options for file saving each time you log into CA OM Web Viewer. 

    Optionally, the user can change options at the file save dialog and the options will remain changed for the rest of his session, unless he changes the options again. 

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

Default File Type

When saving 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 Output Management Web Viewer the Default File Type setting will be set back to this default.

PDF Options

The options selected on this panel will be the default options when any user opens the save document popup.

Note: This setting will only affect users who’s Roles permit them to convert text file to PDFs during a save.

The File Save options include defaults for PDF font size, Page Orientation of PDF, and the option to have a Green Bar background in the PDF.
