Appendix A: Context Help Authentication Display Upfront Publish Template Specifies a template file to use for prompting users when publishing to Upfront. Use when you create custom Upfront templates with file names that differ from the ones installed. If blank, Upfront uses the default template, NI_publish.utml. The Upfront Theme that is used is a user-specified preference. Therefore, ensure that the template file specified exists in all available theme folders. Upfront NewsBox for Cubes Upfront NewsBox for Reports Specifies the NewsBox on your Upfront server to which the cube or report gets published. This property applies only to publishing from PowerPlay Enterprise - Server Administration. In PowerPlay Web Explorer, a user is always prompted to choose a NewsBox when publishing to Upfront. The server name can be used here to ensure backward compatibility with earlier versions of PowerPlay Enterprise Server. Cognos ReportNet/Cognos 8 Folder for Cubes Cognos ReportNet/Cognos 8 Folder for Reports Specifies the folder on your Cognos ReportNet or Cognos 8 server to which the cube or report gets published. Namespace Specifies the directory server namespace used to authenticate Web users who access the cube. This setting overrides any namespace stored in the cube. This setting does not affect Windows users. The display settings allow you to change the way PowerPlay Web is shown on users’ Web browsers. Although the default foreground settings have been designed to be visually appealing with the default background settings, you can modify them to create a custom or corporate identity. The cascading style sheet ppweb.css can override these settings. Screen Resolution Optimizes the appearance of buttons and displays. Use to select the most common resolution for user workstations. If the resolution does not match the Web browser, the buttons and displays appear at a different scale from the text. If you aren't sure which resolution to use, 800 x 600 is recommended. Type Specifies the one of these available user interfaces: • Generic Restricts the generation of HTML pages to code supported by older Web browsers. If you enable this setting, users do not get DHTML rendering regardless of the browser used. If you have large cubes, DHTML can reduce performance of the server. If you enable Generic HTML, you can improve performance. • Enhanced Allows the generation of HTML pages to code supported by Internet Explorer 5.5 and later. The Enhanced user interface supports XSLT templates, which can provide more customization and interactivity for users. 90 Cognos PowerPlay (R)
Appendix A: Context Help Report Lightweight PDF Generation Allows system fonts on the server to be embedded in the report PDF. When disabled, all fonts on the server are embedded. When enabled, only the fonts specified in the Font Embed List in Configuration Manager are used. For more information, see the Configuration Manager User Guide. Pattern Simulation Specifies whether the server simulates patterns used in the report or substitutes a filled rectangle for the pattern. When enabled, patterns are reproduced as bitmaps in the report PDF. When disabled, a filled rectangle appears in the report PDF. While using pattern simulation assures accurate reproduction of patterns used in the original report, it also uses more resources. Page Size Row Limit Column Limit Limits the number of rows and columns that appear on a page. Use to improve the performance and readability of large reports. Report pages include navigation buttons that allow users to move forward and backward. For example, after opening the report, users can page forward to the next 20 columns or 50 rows. Buttons are also available for going directly to the first or last page of columns or rows. The page limits that you set are defaults only. Users can redefine the limits after they open paginated reports. Menu Size Dimensions Area Character Limit Limits the number of characters shown for category names. The box width is determined by the longest category name, up to the maximum set. Any category longer than the maximum limit is truncated. You may need to increase this limit if more characters are necessary to distinguish categories. You can also decrease the limit if categories are easily distinguishable with fewer characters. Item Limit Limits the number of categories shown per level. Use to prevent Web browser problems associated with displaying a large number of list items. If you can't redesign cubes so that dimensions contain fewer categories, you can limit the number of categories included in each level. For example, you limit dimension box categories to 50. Any level that exceeds 50 categories is truncated to show only the first 50 categories. A More Below or Page Down option is shown at the end of the list so users can view the next categories. The option name depends on the version of the user’s Web browser. For information about designing cubes, see the Transformer online help. Report Banner Shows the PowerPlay Web Explorer banner containing the name of the currently connected cube. Image Enables or disables the image specified in the Background Image File setting.
