Set the Content view default mode

You can choose whether to set the View Topic Content mode or View Topic Reference mode as the default for the Content view in Map Editor. When a user opens a map, the Content view shows the map using the default mode.

Note: The default value is used only until a user selects either the View Topic Content or View Topic Reference mode while in Map Editor. IXIA CCMS Web stores the user's selection in the browser, and it uses the last mode the user was in. It also saves if the user was in Structure view. CCMS Web only resets to the default if the user clears her browser data or uses a different browser.

To set the Content view default mode:

  1. Open the TEXTML Administration perspective by clicking the TEXTML Administration shortcut on the tool bar. If the shortcut is not displayed, follow these steps:
    1. Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other
    2. Click TEXTML Administration.
    3. Click Open.
  2. In the TEXTML Administration view, double-click the server.
  3. If your server is not displayed in the view, add it by doing the following:
    1. To find the server name, click Window > Preferences and select IXIA CCMS.
      In the TEXTML Server Connection section, the server name is the Hostname.
    2. Copy the Hostname and close the Preferences window.
    3. In the TEXTML Administration view, right-click and select Add Server.
    4. In the Server field, enter the server name.
      The Port field should fill automatically. If you need the port number, you can find it in the same place as the server name in the Preferences window.
    5. Click OK.
  4. When the Connect as dialog opens, type your username and password and click OK.
  5. Double-click the name of your Content Store to open a connection to it.
  6. Browse to /system/webplatform/configuration to locate the webroles.xml file.
  7. Right-click webroles.xml and select Check Out.
  8. Open the file in an XML editor.
  9. For a <role>, add or edit the following line: 
    <option name="ViewTopicContentDefaultValue">Off</option>

    This sets the View Topic Content mode as the default for all users with that role. You must individually set this parameter for each role.

    Note: If the line is missing, it is the same as setting it to off. The View Topic Reference mode is the default.
