Hint
At Configuring the Collaboration Hub you can access a detailed description of configuration of the Collaboration Hub.
The configuration dialog is subdivided into four sections.
Explorer settings¶
Configure the explorer settings.
- Name of the workspace
- Sets the name that shows up in the workspace selection for users who are members of multiple workspaces. By default, the name is the name of the organization you entered when registering the workspace, plus workspace owner’s full name in parentheses.
- Organization owning this workspace
- Sets the name of your organization, which is displayed in diagrams you create with QuickModel and in most reports.
- Currency
- Defines the default currency used in the simulation tool and in different reports.
- Automatic subscription
- Lets you define whether and when commentators’ email addresses should be added to an email subscription that informs them about changes in the corresponding documents.
- Table columns
- Defines what information the Explorer’s list view is displaying. More detailed instructions are available under working with folders.
Editor settings¶
Configure the editor settings.
- Color palette
- Enables you to customize the colors of the color palette that is accessible in the Editor. To adjust a color, overwrite one of the default hexadecimal values in the palette and press enter to see the color preview change.
- Enforcing matching dictionary item types
- By default, the system enforces that referenced dictionary entries must fit the element types of referencing elements. For example, it is not possible to reference a dictionary entry of the category IT system from an BPMN 2.0 task element. This prevents inconsistent and inadequate usage of dictionary entries. However, this restriction can be disabled by unchecking the box Enforce matching dictionary item types.
Help settings¶
Configure the help settings.
Here, you can (de)activate a set of help options that show news and tips about our software and link to further information about Business Process and Business Decision Management.
By default, all options are activated. You can also define custom help options that can for example link to sites in your intranet. You can define these settings separately for the Explorer and the Collaboration Hub.
General settings¶
Configure the general settings.
- Enable the upload of documents/pictures
- If this check box is activated, users can upload documents and pictures to the workspace.
