Creation and Management of Configurations


You can open this category of the dialog "Designer Options"" with the menu item "Options | i-net Clear Reports Options...".

This category allows you to configure the properties of the configuration and to activate another configuration for i-net Designer. All existing configurations are grouped by their scope and visibility and can be changed according to the current rights of the administrating user.

To get more help for a specific configuration property, then edit a configuration and press the Help button in the category of the property.

Configuration Manager

Active Configuration

Though you have the possibility to manage several configurations, only one of them can be used at the same time. The currently used and therefore active configuration is marked by the [active] label behind the name of the configuration.

The i-net Designer will use the active configuration. To activate another configuration, select it and click on the "Activate" button.

Creating and Editing

Properties for i-net Clear Reports can be set in newly created or existing configurations, on condition that the selected configuration is writeable. The rights for writing and reading configurations depends on the selected scope and the used user.
Opening a configuration will display a new dialog with several categories that hold various settings:

After pressing OK, the saved configuration will be stored in the selected scope and can be used from now on.

Duplicating and Deleting

The configurations can be duplicated (e.g. for testing configuration variations). After clicking on the corresponding button, a new name has to be entered. To create a copy in another scope, you can also select them. The new configuration now contains all settings of the original one. This gives you the chance to edit a configuration from a scope that is not writable for you.

In order to clean the Configuration Manager from never used configurations, you can select the desired ones and click the "Delete" button. All selected configurations are removed. This operation is irreversible.

Import and Export

For creating backups, transporting configurations from one machine to another or to use your crystalclear.properties as configuration, the Configuration Manager provides the possibility to import and export readable configurations. More information about this can be read in the Import and Export part of the Configuration Manager's own help section.
