23.1. Configuring Your System
You can configure system-level settings using the configure system option available from the system button.
Important: Only users with the superuser permission can view the configure system option and access the corresponding settings.
When this option is selected, the Configure system dialog box appears.
The following settings are available from this dialog box:
- System name. Allows you to define a simple identifier for your LincDoc application. This name appears on your browser's tab (shown below) as well as in other places throughout the interface (such as on the verification screen when you click the logout button and in email notifications when new users are added to the system).
- Hostname. Specify the name of the computer that is running LincDoc. This setting is used to create the hostname element in hyperlinks that LincDoc generates, such as the "sign" or "edit" links in an email message. It typically uses a format similar to the following example: eforms.example.com.
- From address. Specify the default origination address that will be used with emails generated by an email action.
Tip: It is recommended that this address use the format following: do-not-reply@custom-host-name.com (where custom-host-name is your Hostname specified above).
- Days to keep statistics. Specify the number of days that LincDoc should retain basic system event information. LincDoc tracks events such as the login time for a user, the logout time for a user, when a particular eForm or Document Package is launched, etc. After the defined number of days, any data that falls outside of the specified time frame is deleted.
- Session timeout. Specify the number of minutes of inactivity after which a user is automatically logged out of LincDoc. Only inactive minutes are used when calculating whether or not the time limit has been reached.
Tip: A value of 30 minutes (half an hour) is recommended.
- Allowed iPad app versions. Allows you to specify which versions of LincDoc Mobile are allowed to connect to your LincDoc server. You can specify particular versions or a range of versions. You can also simply leave the setting blank, which automatically means that the latest version is required.
The following examples show two ways to specify this setting:
- A single version: 3.1.1.3
- A range of versions: 3.2.6.0-3.2.8.9
Tip: It is recommended that you leave this setting blank so that the latest version of LincDoc Mobile is required.
- iPad app URL. This setting is no longer used by the application and should be left blank.
- STMP configuration
- Host. Specify the fully qualified hostname (or IP address) of your mail server.
Important: Consult with your mail administrator to verify that a rule is added that allows LincDoc to relay mail through the specified host.
- Host. Specify the fully qualified hostname (or IP address) of your mail server.
- Login page. These settings allow you to change the labels that appear on the LincDoc login screen.
- label. Specify the text label that will appear above the list of providers and the username/password text boxes.
- logo. Click the select button to specify the logo that will appear adjacent to the login details.
Note: The logo file must be present in your resources repository. For more information, see Adding Local Files to Your Directory Structure.
Once you select a file in your resources repository and click the select button, the selected file (and its path) is displayed adjacent to the logo setting (as shown in the example at the top of this topic). - Auto-complete. If this check box is selected, LincDoc will inform your browser that it is acceptable to cache the specified username and password in the browser's password file. Once this information is cached, it will automatically be populated when the LincDoc login screen is accessed.
- label. Specify the text label that will appear above the list of providers and the username/password text boxes.
