Additional Preference Settings

In addition to preference settings described previously in this document, there are others which control various other aspects of Visual Collaboration. All settings listed here are active on a per-user basis, and if set for World act as defaults for users created later.

Figure 54.

Settings shown in green can be indirectly set by users based on available functions. They can also be set directly by administrators here in the Preference dialog.

  • Default Bookmark

    This setting controls the default bookmark and its associated messages that a user sees when first opening the My Discussions window. The standard value for the default is All Bookmarks.

    End users can change this setting using the Set as Default context menu command available within Bookmarks.

  • Use Standard Toolbar for Viewers

If set to ON, it means the user is using the standard toolbars in the viewers, instead of the basic toolbars.

End users can change this setting by using the Switch to Standard and Switch to Basic command available in the viewer toolbars.

 

Settings shown in red cannot be set directly by end users. They can only be set directly by administrators here in the Preference dialog.

  • Default number of replies

The administrator controls the default maximum number of replies to display in the message thread. The standard value for the default is 3.

  • Default number of Flagged-By-Users

The administrator controls how many usernames will be listed by default when the “Flagged by” list is shown. The standard value for the default is 2.

  • Maximum lines in messages before “More”

The administrator controls how many lines of a message will be displayed by default in the discussion panel, before showing the More hyperlink. The standard value for the default is 3.

  • Prefix Text for Highlight Text Markup

In the PDF viewer, if the user selects a portion of text and then picks the Markup button, it copies the selected text into the Comment box, prefixed by this text. This function is known as “Highlight Text” markup. The administrator can change this prefix text on a per user basis. Setting it to blank will result in no appended text in the Comment box.
