User interface properties page
The user interface properties page is used to configure the basic settings that are common across the user interface for Distribution.
These properties are a set of default behaviors that all users receive when they log in. As each user logs in, the properties are read one time and used for the entire session for the user. If a property is changed after a user logs in, that property does not take effect for that user until their next login.
To restart a Common Services application or component, delete its pod.
The user interface properties for Distribution are shown in the following table.
| Property name | Description | Default | Custom value or example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web page refresh rate | The page refresh interval, in seconds. This property is only used for pages that support automatic refresh. | 60 | 120 |
| Records per page | The maximum number of records that are displayed at one time in a table of information on a page. This property applies only to user interface pages that have tables that can do paging. It does not apply to pages with tables that do not support paging or that provide another method for selecting the number of records per page. | 50 | 20 |
| Warning threshold (Messaging) | The threshold that is used to turn a queue entry yellow (warning) when the queue size (number of messages on the queue) meets or exceeds the threshold value. This threshold can be used to help identify whether the Distribution engine is processing work efficiently. If the queue starts to go into a warning (yellow) state, it means that the engine is not processing the work at an acceptable rate. | 100 | 250 |
| Critical threshold (Messaging) | The threshold that is used to turn a queue entry red (critical) when the queue size (number of messages on the queue) meets or exceeds the threshold value. This threshold can be used to alert operations when a queue reaches a limit that is determined to be unacceptable during normal business day processing. | 500 | 1000 |
| Force filter option for Batches/ICLs | This property controls how the information on the outbound batches / ICLs page is filtered when the page is initially displayed. When this property is set to false, only the default filtering criteria is used for the page.
