Service parameters
Use the Service parametersworkspace to configure runtime parameters for SmartSpace services. Which parameters you can configure here depends on which SmartSpace features you have licensed.
The Service parameters workspace
Click on SERVICE PARAMETERS to display the Service parameters workspace.
To display current settings and edit parameters, you must first click on <Select a configuration> to choose the feature whose parameters you want to configure. Selecting an object from the list displays default settings for parameters for that type. Dragging a type into the object browser opens a list of object instances for which you can display and edit parameters on an individual or global basis.
An example of the Service parameters workspace is shown below.
The workspace is divided into two main areas which are described in the following sections:
Types and configurable parameters
At the top of the left-hand pane, a dropdown lists all available parameters. See Parameters for Configuration for the complete list: which parameters you see depends on the components you have licensed. When you select a parameter, applicable types are listed in a hierarchy according to the types they are based on. When you select a type from the list, a table of default parameters is shown in the lower-left hand part of the screen. Where a parameter's default value has been overridden, the numbers of types with overrides is given.
To display a list of all instances of a type, drag the name of the type from the hierarchy into the object browser.
Object browser
The workspace includes an object browser. This provides a drag-and-drop interface for configuring parameters
To edit parameters, first drag the type into the object browser to display all instances of that type. You can then:
- Display and configure parameters for a single instance of the type by dragging it from the list into the object browser (or selecting it and pressing Enter, or double-clicking). Click Edit to modify its displayed parameters.
- Display and configure parameters for all instances of the type by dragging the type (the first item in the list—shown in the format 'type name' objects) into the object browser. Click Edit to modify the displayed parameters.
