Content
The page consists of several areas:
- The toolbar area.
- The list on the left hand side shows configurations.
- The form on the right hand side shows the properties of the configuration.
A configuration is an extension to the device/user/project settings as described before. It is like a container which can store detailed information concerning access to layers and functions as well as values of workspace and page variables.
A configuration has to be unique per device, per user/group and per project. Note: only the project is mandatory, the device and user/group are optional and can remain empty!
When a client connects, the system searches the relevant configuration:
- step: by all its keys (as in Evaluation 1) - if there is no result evaluate next step, otherwise configuration found.
- step: by two keys (as in Evaluation 2) - if there is no result evaluate next step, otherwise configuration found.
- step: by two keys (as in Evaluation 3) - if there is no result evaluate next step, otherwise configuration found.
- step: by one key (as in Evaluation 4) - if there is no result no configuration is available, otherwise configuration found.
System evaluation of configurations
| Keys | Evaluation 1 | Evaluation 2 | Evaluation 3 | Evaluation 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1. key | Project | Project | Project | Project |
2. key | User/Group | User/Group | Device | |
| 3. key | Device |
When defining a configuration the user has to ensure that the keys of the configuration fit to the project - otherwise the system will never apply the configuration.
