Application Configuration

Screen Description

The Application Configuration screen provides a list of application settings/properties together with their values. The settings can be edited through the application interface, while properties must be edited in a properties file. Read the Customization section of the Timetabling Installation instructions to see where and how to set up the application properties.

Application Settings

• Name
  • Name of the application setting as recognized by the application
• Value
  • Current value of the setting
  • The gray text means that the current value is not set on the Application Configuration page (it is either the default or it is set in the custom properties file)
• Description
  • Description of the application setting

When the Show all properties toggle is checked, all application properties (taken from the ApplicationProperty enum) are displayed. When not checked, only those that are set on this page or have a non-default value set in the custom properties file are displayed.

Most application settings are academic session independent, but it is possible to define session-dependent values. If the current session has a session-dependent value for a particular setting, this is denoted by ^s) next to the property name.

Note: Some of the application properties (e.g., database connection properties) cannot be changed through this interface; they must be changed in the custom properties file.

Note: Changing most of the application settings will have an immediate effect on the application. Some settings may require a restart of the application.

Note: The Application Configuration page may also show application
