To access this page:

  1. Log in to the DSP®  source instance.

  2. Select Admin > Configuration > Parameters in the Navigation pane.
Field Description
Application Name Displays name of the application: CranSoft.
Instance Displays the logical application instance (e.g., Dev, QA, Production) that this physical instance of the application represents.
Web Site Root Displays URL of the home directory. If the field is not populated, any workflow emails sent that contain links will fail.
Email Server Displays outgoing email server name that the Platform uses to send email (e.g., workflow notifications).
Default Email Address Displays email address used when sending a test email (i.e., clicking Test Email button). This email address is also used when the From field on a workflow is not specified AND the current user does not have an email address defined.
Default Style ID Displays the default style that is applied to the site for users that do not have a style specified.
Default Language ID Displays the default language that is applied to the site for users that do not have a language specified.
Test Email Click to send a test email to the current user.
License Expiration Warning Days Displays the number of days prior to license expiration that the user receives a notification of the expiration date.
Clear Cache Click to clear various data caches maintained by the Platform from the time of its last startup. These caches exist to aid performance, but can become “stale” due to errors or database operations that can cause issues, such as newly created views not showing up in page design lists or new WebApps not showing up on the Site menu. These issues are often stale cache problems that can be fixed by using the Clear Cache button, which avoids the need to restart the Platform or obtain additional assistance.

Security Settings tab

Use this tab to:

Workflow Parameters tab
Field Description
Workflow Continue On Error If enabled, the Platform does not fail events due to SMTP errors that occur when sending workflows. Errors can be viewed in the logs.
Workflow Log Retention Days Displays number of days that records in the User Workflow Log are retained. Default value is 2 days.
Default Workflow Expire Days Displays number of days a workflow link is active for the receiver of the email. Default value is 14 days.
Maximum Email Attachment File Size Displays the maximum file size (in bytes) allowed for email attachments. Default value is 5000000 bytes.

Timeouts tab

Page Parameters tab

Field

Description

Records Per Page

Displays number of records per page before additional pages are added. Default value is 16 pages.

Maximum Hint Length

Feature is deprecated.

Number Of Page Range Characters

Displays number of characters to include in the range portion of the page selection menu. Enter 0 to use the entire field. Recommended value is 3.

Page Trace Retention Days

Displays the number of days in which trace logs are retained. After the retention days are reached, the trace logs are deleted from the Platform. Default value is 5 days.

Quick Panel Resource Allocation

Displays the number of milliseconds of processing time allocated, per-second, for each Quick Panel Resource. This can be used in conjunction with the Quick Panel Performance Monitor to balance server performance versus Quick Panel count refresh frequency.

NOTE: This field is not relevant to Bulk Execution or Excel Integration.

Bulk Execution Limit

Displays the number of records which a user can Bulk Execute against on any page. If this value is exceeded, a message will be displayed to indicate the result set needs to be filtered to reduce the number of records visible before a Bulk Execution can be performed. This is to reduce load on the server when under load while remaining highly responsive while not under heavy usage. Note: Serialized events will always run in 1 thread.

NOTE: This is the number of concurrent threads that can process Bulk Execution logic. Each invocation of Bulk Execution will use half of the remaining threads with a minimum of 1.

Bulk Execution Thread Limit

Displays the number of multi-threads available for the use of Bulk Execution. When performing a Bulk Execution, if asynchronicity is supported, half of the available threads will be allocated for the job. Meaning, if the limit is 32, the first Bulk Execution will be given 16 threads. If another Bulk Execution is invoked during this, it will be allocated 8, and so on. There will always be at least 1 thread granted to ensure the job is processed.

This logarithmic trend is to ensure the Server processes as quickly as possible during low usage and can distribute load when under heavy usage.

Excel Import Record Limit

Displays the maximum number of records that can be inserted per worksheet upload. This may be useful when page designers know that either the OnValidate event is very resource intensive or the data set can be very dense.

Auto Refresh

Auto Refresh Min

Displays minimum or starting refresh rate in seconds. Default value is 999 seconds.

Auto Refresh Max

Displays maximum or ending refresh rate in seconds. Default value is 30 seconds.

Auto Refresh Increment

Displays number of seconds to increment the refresh rate until the Auto Refresh Max is reached. Default value is 5 seconds.

Report Record Limit Displays number of records displayed in a report before the filter option is activated.  Recommended value is 1000.
List Record Limit Displays upper limit on the number of records that can be displayed in a list box. If this limit is reached, the list box reports an error and fails to populate. The Designer should change the column to use a combo box instead of a list box.

Default Search Word Limit Displays number of words to index out of each column during search indexing. Default value is 64.
