System-Defined Publication Properties

A publication configuration has a number of system-defined publication properties. When pages are published, the values of these properties are substituted in published files.

Publication properties are displayed in the Properties tab in the bottom half of the Publication Configurations tab or window. Find this tab or window by choosing Publish, Publication Configurations from the main menu.

Benchmark

Specifies whether or not the Benchmark Control scripts should be loaded in the application. The possible values are:

•false (the default): Benchmark scripts will not be loaded and run, and any Benchmark Control defined on a page will not be displayed.

•true: The scripts are loaded, and any page being run with it will be enhanced by the Web Benchmark scripts. The Benchmark Control will also be visible, if present on your pages.

To add the Benchmark Control functionality to your application, use the ApplicationPageWithBenchmark page as the StartPage, or see How to add the Benchmark Control to an existing application.

BrowserTitle

Specifies the title that is displayed at the top left of the browser when using the Web application. The default value is USoft Web Application.

DefaultPassword

Specifies the password for the default user. This property is optional.

DefaultUser

Specifies the user who gets access to the generated web pages by default. The credentials provided here and for the DefaultPassword property are used to log on automatically to pages for which the Logon Required property has been set to Yes. The use of DefaultUser/DefaultPassword ensures that the application will not display login dialogs.

Framework

Specifies the initial web design framework that you use for designing your published material. For more information, go to Frameworks.

jQueryCompatibility

Handles compatibility issues with earlier versions of Web Designer applications. When set to 'usoft7' buttons have the same appearance as USoft7 Web applications. All other values display buttons in the latest jQuery style.

jQueryUITheme

Specifies the theme that is used to display jQuery UI objects. Possible values of the property are:

•none: no jQuery UI is included

•local

•base (this is the default)

•Predefined theme definition from http://jqueryui.com/themeroller, or one you have made yourself. See How To Apply A Different jQuery Theme.

JQueryUIVersion

Specifies the jQuery version that is included in the Web page. The default is '1'. Specifying only part of a three digit version number means that the latest version of what is specified will be used (e.g. 1.2 loads 1.2.6). Examples of possible values of the properties are:

•local: Refers to the js/jquery.js file in the publication folder

•1

•1.4

•1.4.2

LogFolder

Specifies the default Logging Folder. If a value is not specified for this property (default), logging will be to the <publication_folder>/logs folder.

LogInPage

Specifies the Login page. The default is the ApplicationLogInPage page.

LoggedOutPage

Specifies the default page shown when an end user has logged out from the web application. The default is the LoggedOutPage page.

StartPage

Specifies the page that end users see once they are logged in into the web application. The default is the ApplicationPage page. When using the Benchmark Control (Benchmark property must be set to 'True'), use the ApplicationPageWithBenchmarkPage as default instead.

NOTE: Run-time, you can overrule the value for the StartPage property by adding the following parameter to the URL in the Address bar of your browser: ?$StartPage.
