Using the Settings Pages (Web Server, Host Connections and Profiles Tabs)

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The Web Server, Host Connections and Web Terminal Emulator Profiles tabs use a standard user interface based on an edit block for each setting.

 

While there are a number of different entry types, each setting is contained in a informational block with a few cues.

 

Example Settings Block

 

clip0003

 

When there is help available, the clip0004 icon can be clicked to open the help for this setting.

 

What are the Little Track Marks?

The track marks or footsteps can appear in a number of different colors--here are the meanings for each:

 

step_default_24

Default value is active - setting is unchanged / neutral

step_set_24

Setting has been changed and unique to this level

step_fromHost_24

Profiles - this setting is currently inherited from the Host that this profile is based on

step_inherited_24

Profiles - This is a host setting that was overridden by the Profile that this Profile is linked to / inheriting from

 

Changed Setting

When you make a change to the active value in a setting (entry fields take the change when you tab or click-out of the field), the heading for the Setting Block will change with "Changed" appearing in red, and the track marks will change based on the relationship of your new value and the defaults / parent values:

Applying Changes

Once any settings are in a changed state, the top of the active tab will display an Apply Changes and Cancel button.  Clicking on Apply Changes will save all pending changes for the definition being edited and display what changes were made in the top header.  Cancel will refresh the tab and return all settings to their prior values.
