Browser settings admin form from 76?

Joshua Kessler

We are in the process of moving to v76 and v91 side by side.  Previously (it works as late as v76) we had a browser settings admin form that users could control date/time formatting, number of rows per page, etc...

 

Is there an example of this working in v9?  I've tried using it as a 76 form in side by side and it isn't having any effect when users log in via 9.

You would have to use the one supplied with version 9 for it to work in the version 9 system. You can find it here on 64 bit systems:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Metastorm\BPM\Administrative Tools\Administrative Processes\Browser Settings

 

and here on 32 bit systems:

C:\Program Files\Metastorm\BPM\Administrative Tools\Administrative Processes\Browser Settings

 

(for default installations)

Thanks!  I just published it but it doesn't seem to be changing anything.  Are there any common/known issues that people have with v9 Browser settings?

 

 

edited to add:  I noticed you had difficulty with the settings changing right away in another post.  Did anything ever come of that?

In the web.config file, there is a setting ...

 

 

If this is set to 0, then the browser settings admin form will have no effect.  Have you changed this to 1 as above?

Joshua Kessler

Thanks,

 

Looks like the value in Program Files (x86)\Metastorm\BPM\Web\web.config was set to 0.  I change the value to 1, saved and restarted the service but the v9 browser settings app still doesn't appear to work.  Was this the wrong web.config file?

It seems that it's a little more complex in 9.  The setting I mentioned above allows users to override the values in forms.  For values on the To Do and Watch lists, there is another setting in web,config that needs changing:

 

 

Check that the two values that are set to auto above , have not been hard coded to a particular culture.

Thanks,

 

They were indeed both set to "en-us" or similar.  I changed them, saved and restarted the Metastorm service and IIS, but still no luck.  Any more ideas?

What is it that is not being changed?  Date formats in date fields on forms, thousand delimeters / decimal points in number fields on forms, date / time formats in date fields on forms, any of the preceeding in grids on forms or the date values on To Do and Watch lists?
