Modifying report viewing and viewer options

The Properties tab of the WCS allows you to modify report viewing settings that affect all users on the system. You can change the default directory where the WCS stores its temporary image files. And you can customize the "look and feel" of the different viewer controls to suit users' preferences or to suit your administrative requirements.

Tip:    On Windows, you can also change some of these settings in the CCM. Stop the WCS and view its Properties. Then click the Configuration tab.

This table lists the properties that you can change for each of the viewer controls.

Tip:    On the Properties tab, use the NT Single Sign On check box only when you are running more than one WCS. (If you are running a single WCS, use the CCM instead.) This feature requires your web server to support NT Challenge/Response or Integrated Windows Authentication. For more information on NT Single Sign On, see Setting up NT Single Sign On.

To modify report viewing and viewer settings
  1. Go to the Servers management area of the CMC.
  2. Click the link to the WCS whose settings you want to change.
  3. Make your changes on the Properties tab.

    This example shows the Report Viewing area of the Properties tab. Here, the WCS is using the default values.
