GUI Policy |
The GUI Policy defines system-level settings for the LabVantage User Interface.
Property Name | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Topbar Gizmos | Defines the Gizmos displayed at the upper right of the
Menu Bar.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Default URL | Logon URL to use by default when the application opens.
This property applies only if the "Startup
Page " User Profile property has not been set. If set, this overrides
the User Profile. Use these buttons:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Default Menu | Menu Gizmo to use by default in the Menu Bar when the application
opens. This property applies only if the "Start
Menu" User Profile property has not been set. If set, this overrides
the User Profile. Use these buttons:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Default Sidebar Group | Group Gizmo to use in the Sidebar by default when the application
opens. This property applies only if the "Start
Sidebar" User Profile property has not been set. If set, this overrides
the User Profile. Use these buttons:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sidebar style | Determines the appearance of the Sidebar Groups. This can
be overridden at the Group Gizmo level.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Button style | Determines the default appearance of buttons if no style
is set at the Toolbar level:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Application title | Title to display in browser tabs and window headers. We recommend you do not otherwise modify the visual appearance of the header. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Application Image | Image displayed in the top left corner of the Layout. We recommend you do not otherwise modify the visual appearance of the header. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Status Bar Properties | Determines the appearance and content of the Status Bar:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Navigation Bar | Determines if the Navigation Bar is shown:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
JS Includes | Collection of JavaScript includes. Includes at the Generic
Layout level will be included into the navigation frame of the pages (not
the top frame), whereas includes at the GUI Policy level will be included
into the top frame of the page.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
stylesheets | Collection of stylesheets to include. We recommend you do
not modify the visual style of the components in the application. If styling
is required, include it at the specific page level. style includes at the
Generic Layout level will be included into the navigation frame (not the
top frame), whereas these stylesheet includes will be pushed into the top
layout frame.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Menu Mode | Determines how Menu Gizmos open and close:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Frame Buffering | Yes/No enables/disables frame double buffering. The default is No (frame buffering is turned off). This gives the appearance of a page load between navigations, as in a typical Web application. If set to Yes (frame buffering on), the next page will be loaded off screen and pushed into place when loaded. The latter is more like an Ajax-type load and, although smoother and shows no difference in time to load, can give the impression that loading is taking longer (as the original content remains for a few fractions of a second). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lock Groups | Yes prevents Users from changing the Sidebar and Dashboard Gizmo Groups even if their Group Gizmo allows it (this can also be done at the Group Gizmo level). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group Creation Role | Role of the User who can create new Dashboards. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hot Key to Log Off | Yes/No enables/disables the CTRL + Q hot key, which is used
to log off.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Confirm On Hot Key Log Off | Yes issues a confirmation before logging off using the CTRL + Q hot key. "Hot Key to Log Off" (above) must be set to "Yes". The default is No (unless a save is required). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hide Change Password | Yes hides the "Change Password" menu item in the Profile Menu on the far right of the Menu Bar. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
GUI Modes | At logon, LabVantage uses these properties to automatically
determine the type of device to which it is connecting (desktop, tablet,
or phone) based on these properties. Each GUI Mode defined here is checked
to determine the mode that best fits the connected device. After this determination
has been made, all pages adjust their display characteristics according
to the "Resolution Properties" defined for that device type in
the Web Page Designer, assuming those properties have been defined (see
Web Page Designer Advanced Operations
→ Adding Custom Properties → Property Definition Editor →
Declaring Advanced Properties → Resolution Properties).
In the OOB configuration, criteria for each device is determined according to these assumptions:
Custom configurations may require adjustment of these criteria in order to make the correct determination based on the specific devices connected.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Do Not Use Job Type Start URL | When set to "No", the "Default Logon URL", "Default Menu", and "Default Sidebar" defined for Job Types are not used (see Concepts of LabVantage Security → Job Types → Configuration). In this case, Job Type defaults are determined by the GUI Policy ("Default URL", "Default Menu", and "Default Sidebar Group" above). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use Full Unminified Includes | Determines whether minified or unminified files are used for CSS and JavaScript includes. This allows unminified includes to be used on a production system, thus enabling easier debugging. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Navigation Refresh | Specifies the number of times a user navigates through the application before a full refresh of the top frame occurs. A value of -1 (default) means to never refresh. A value of 0 results in a refresh on every navigation. Note that this may have performance implications. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Core Font style | Specifies the default font style for the entire application. Change this only if a language requires a different font (such as to increase readability). The default is Open Sans. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hide Change Preferences Item | Yes/No hides/shows the Change Preferences menu item in the User's Profile Menu. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hide Set As Start Page Item | Yes/No hides/shows the Set as Start Page menu item in the User's Profile Menu. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
