Configure project settings
You can configure multiple project settings.
Note: This can be applied within a Hosted environment, but only within a test server.
These settings
are:- The word or phrase that designates the project coordinator.
- Time intervals for project progress warnings.
- Color codes for warnings that appear when team workloads exceed the time intervals.
- Maximum workloads for team members (the numbers of documents assigned).
-
Open the TEXTML Administration perspective by clicking the
TEXTML Administration shortcut on the
tool bar. If the shortcut is not displayed, follow these steps:
- Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other
- Click TEXTML Administration.
- Click Open.
- In the TEXTML Administration view, double-click the server. If your server is not displayed in the view, you must add it to the view.
- When the Connect as dialog opens, type your username and password and click OK.
- Double-click the name of your Content Store to open a connection to it.
- Locate the projectconf.xml file in the repository's /system/conf collection.
- Check out the file.
- Open projectconf.xml with a text editor.
-
In the <coordinatorrole> element, enter the word or phrase used to
designate the project coordinator role.
For example:
<coordinatorrole>Project coordinator</coordinatorrole>
Note: The role name specified here must be defined in roles.xml and be assigned the appropriate access in accessrights.xml. -
In the <progresswarnings> element, create four <level> elements, one for each project
progress warning level, as follows:
- OK
- WARN
- LATE
- VERYLATE
-
For each level, configure the RGB codes for the warning
highlight applied to maps and projects to indicate how close they are to a
milestone due date.
<progresswarnings> <level type="WARN" color="102, 255, 0"> </level>
Note: In the example above, the red green blue (RGB) code 102, 255, 0 corresponds to a chartreuse green shade. -
Use the <daysfrom> or
the <daysto> element to specify when
the progress warning highlighting will be applied.
These elements specify the range of days during which the warning will be displayed (i.e,
[daysfrom, daysto]
), where:Option Description <daysfrom> Specifies the start of the range, in relation to the due date: - A positive value indicates the number of days before the due date that the warning will start to be displayed.
- A value of 0 indicates the due date.
- A negative value indicates the number of days past the due date that the warning will start to be displayed.
<daysto> Specifies the end of the range, in relation to the due date: - A positive value indicates the number of days before the due date that the warning will stop being displayed.
- A value of 0 indicates the due date.
- A negative value indicates the number of days past the due date that the warning will stop being displayed.
For example, consider the values below. A warning of type WARN will be displayed starting 6 days before the due date up to the due date. A warning of type LATE will be displayed starting 1 day past the due date until 14 days past the due date. A warning of type VERYLATE will be displayed starting 15 days past the due date, with no end date.<level type="WARN" color="102, 255, 0"> <daysfrom>6</daysfrom> <daysto>0</daysto> </level> <level type="LATE" color="204, 102, 0"> <daysfrom>-1</daysfrom> <daysto>-14</daysto> </level> <level type="VERYLATE" color="205, 92, 92"> <daysfrom>-15</daysfrom> </level>
-
Set the <workloadwarnings> element to define the colors applied to
team members' names as their active document assignments reach the specified
percentage of their workload.
In the example below, the color orange (color="255, 140, 0") is applied to team members whose active documents make up between 81% and 100% of their total assignments.
<workloadwarnings> <level color="255, 140, 0"> <from>81</from> <to>100</to> </level> </workloadwarnings>
- Save, close, and check in the projectconf.xml file.
