Designer global settings

This section lists all global settings for the designer. More settings can be setup per tenant.

​

The global settings are setup in the configuration file, application-default.properties

1. In Windows it is found in:

C:\Program Files\InterFormNG2

2. On the IBM i platform it is found in the IFS in:

\\<IBM i>\iformng2\InterFormNG-shell\Core

​

It is recommended to copy the file before editing the file. You can edit the file with a simple editor like Notepad or Notepad++.

The global designer settings are setup by adding/changing text lines in this configuration file.

Changes to the configuration files become activate after a restart of the InterFormNG2 service.

The settings are:

designer.preview.timeout.seconds=120

InterFormNG2 limits as default a preview in the designer to 60 seconds. If you want to change this value to e.g. 120 seconds,  then you need to add the line above to the application-default.properties file.

file.overwriteChangesOnly=true

This option can be useful if you want to avoid saving the template when you click the save option - if the template really is unchanged. That can be useful if e.g. you are using standard templates and resources e.g. supplied by an ERP vendor and you want to avoid creating your own, local version of the template, when it really is not needed. With this option you can open a template and edit the contents of referenced template components and when you click save then only the changed template components are saved - not the template if it is unchanged. 

Please notice, that if you e.g. add or remove a sample file on the template, then the template is considered to be changed and a subsequent click on the save icon will also save the template.
