Preferences settings
Use the Preferences page to specify whether you want the administrative console workspace to refresh automatically after changes, the default scope to be the administrative console node, confirmation dialogs to display, and the workspace banner and descriptions to display.
To view this administrative console page, click Preferences on the console taskbar.
- Enable WorkSpace Auto-Refresh
- Specifies whether you want the administrative console workspace
to redraw automatically after the administrative configuration changes.
The default is for the workspace to redraw automatically. If you direct the console to create a new instance of, for example, an appserver, the Application Servers page refreshes automatically and shows the new server's name in the collection of servers.
Specifying that the workspace not redraw automatically means that re-access a page by clicking on the console navigation tree or links on collection pages to see changes made to the administrative configuration.
Data type Boolean Default true - Do not confirm WorkSpace Discards
- Specifies whether the confirmation dialog is displayed after a
request to discard the workspace. The default is to display confirmation dialogs.
Data type Boolean Default false - Use Default Scope
- Specifies whether the default scope is the administrative console
node. The default is for the scope not to be the console node.
Data type Boolean Default false - Hide/Show Banner
- Specifies whether the WebSphere Application Server banner along
the top of administrative console displays. The default is for the banner
to display.
Data type Boolean Default true - Hide/Show Descriptions
- Specifies whether information on console pages and fields within
the pages is shown. The Hide/Show Field and Page Descriptions icons on the
right of the taskbar provide the same function. The default is to show page
and field descriptions.
Data type Boolean Default true
