Configuration parameters
The administrator can set parameters to configure the IBM® Content Navigator at a general application level, at a repository level for Content Cortex (Content Cortex) or Content Manager, or for IBM Content Navigator for Microsoft Office (NMO).
To select the parameters, go to the IBM Content Navigator console and select . Click New, which displays the New custom Property dialog. Name lists the parameters that you can select.
In the Name field,
- If you enter 'app', a list of all the application parameters are listed.
- If you enter 'cm', a list of all the Content Manager repository parameters are listed.
- If you enter 'p8', a list of all the Content Cortex repository parameters are listed.
- If you enter 'nmo', a list of all the IBM Content Navigator for Microsoft Office parameters are listed.
When you select a parameter, the default value is automatically entered in the Value field. After you assign a value to the parameter, only parameters without defined values are displayed in the Name list.
You can add a unique, custom parameter and assign a value. The name cannot duplicate any existing parameter name.
