Settings tab
The Settings tab has four sections: User interface, Reporting and exports, Import, and License allocation. Refer to the tables for descriptions of the settings.
User interface
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Language | Select the preferred language from the list. The SLM Web UI is available in the following languages: English (UK), English (US), Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. |
| Default size for lists | Select Default for adjustment to a 1024 wide screen resolution. The Fullsize option is intended for users with higher resolution, where the lists are expanded to fit the entire screen, enabling the users to see more information. |
| Currency | Select the default currency in views and reports. The selected currency will be displayed as default for all financial values throughout SLM Web UI. Available currencies are defined in Snow MACC. Note that purchases can be registered in all available currencies, regardless of this setting. |
| Days to show updated remark on alerts | Select for how many days an alert will be indicated as updated in the alert lists. |
| Show start page as | Select the preferred start page; Snowboard or Alert list. |
| Auto select sub levels in organization selectors | Select this check box to automatically select sub-levels when selecting organization nodes in search and report criteria. This can be useful if you have several nodes with multiple sub-nodes and wish to filter content on a specific node including all of its sub-nodes. If this option is disabled, you will have to check each organization node manually, including sub-nodes, if you want to include them. |
| In computer and user details, show only applications that require a license | When selected, only applications that require a license will be displayed in the detail view for computers, mobile devices, and users. All other applications are hidden but will be available in lists, reports, and searches depending on how you choose to filter them. |
| Expand alert groups automatically | Alerts of the same type are grouped. Details of the alert group are hidden by default, but can be expanded by clicking an icon. Select this box to automatically expand alert group details. |
Reporting and exports
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Page orientation for PDF exports | Select page orientation for PDF exports from the list. If Default is selected, the export will use the pre-defined settings for each list. Note that list content is adapted to fit the page. Therefore, page orientation will affect font size of the content. |
| Format handling for export to Excel from lists | The Excel 2003 format contains a 65 000 row limit. Select Use format for Excel 2007/2010 (no row limit) to avoid the limitation. Files exported in the Excel 2007/2010 format cannot be opened in earlier versions of Excel. Native Microsoft Excel 2007 and 2010 formats (xlsx) are supported which radically decreases file size when exporting reports and lists. |
Import
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Import | Type the Organization separator (delimiter) used in the import files between levels in the organization structure. For example, type “/” if the organization information is in the format: “ROOT/IT/Support”. |
License allocation
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto allocate licenses | Select to enable that when adding a license purchase for a metric that has the auto allocate function, the Auto allocate check box will be enabled by default. |
