Default View

This CONFIG_KEY setting enables a user to define a default view of the selected chooser.

ST_CONFIG	VALUE	REMARK	VALID VALUES
CONFIG_SECTION	<Desired Chooser>		DashboardChooser, Facility Chooser, ReportChooser, WidgetChooser
CONFIG_KEY	DefaultView		DefaultView
OBJECT_TYPE	user_id		user_id
OBJECT_VALUE	12345	This is the USER_ID for the user you wish to set.	Valid user_id
STRING_VALUE	<string>	There are two options: "Favorites" and "Recent", which are available for all choosers. In addition, the Report Chooser has the option of "HasEIA".	Favorites, Recent, HasEIA (Report Chooser only)

Example

CONFIG_SECTION	CONFIG_KEY	OBJECT_TYPE	OBJECT_VALUE	STRING_VALUE
DashboardChooser	DefaultView	user_id	3	Favorites
DashboardChooser	DefaultView	user_id	12345	Recent
DashboardChooser	DefaultView	user_id	555

Note: The Dashboard will require a refresh prior to the settings being respected.

View Mode (Renderer)

This CONFIG_KEY setting enables a user to define the renderer view of the selected chooser. Users with permissions to edit the ST_CONFIG table are able to set the default renderer view on an application-wide basis.

ST_CONFIG	VALUE	REMARK	VALID VALUES
CONFIG_SECTION	<Desired Chooser>		DashboardChooser, Facility Chooser, ReportChooser, WidgetChooser
CONFIG_KEY	Renderer		Renderer
OBJECT_TYPE	<string>	The GlobalView value is used to configure the default view setting for one or more renderers application-wide. See #2 in the Note below for more information.	user_id, GlobalView (Dashboard Chooser, Facility Chooser, and Report Chooser)
OBJECT_VALUE	12345	This is the USER_ID for the user you wish to set.	Valid user_id
STRING_VALUE	<string>	There are two options: "Tile" and "Details" (will display the Grid View) which are available for all choosers. In addition, the Facility Chooser can have a Renderer value of "Map".	Tile, Details, Map (Facility Chooser only)

Example

CONFIG_SECTION	CONFIG_KEY	OBJECT_TYPE	OBJECT_VALUE	STRING_VALUE
FacilityChooser	Renderer	user_id	3	Map
DashboardChooser	Renderer	GlobalView	Null	Tile
WidgetChooser	Renderer	user_id	555	Details

Note: The order of precedence for determining how a chooser (e.g., Dashboard Chooser, Facility Chooser, etc.) renders is as follows:

1.The highest precedence is for individual users who select how a chooser is rendered by using the User Profile Editor to configure the Section, Key, and Value fields in the Configuration Grid section.

2.Next, a user with permissions to edit the ST_CONFIG table can update the default view by configuring the GlobalView setting, which will update default view for the chooser(s) for all users that do not have a personalized default view configured (i.e., Step 1).

3.Lastly, the default view configured for the application will be used if no changes (i.e., Step 1 or Step 2) are made.
