Configuring columns

Administration

From the Administration application administrators can configure the columns that will display by default in the Destination, Source, Document, and Library grids. Users can customize the grids by adding, removing, and reordering columns as necessary from the grids. You can also determine which print preferences/document properties are supported throughout Barr EOM.

Configuring the grids

  1. From the EOM Console navigation pane, select the Administration application.

  2. In the navigation pane, click Configure Columns. In the console window, the Configure Columns Utility displays tab pages representing the Destinations, Sources, Documents, and Library grids.

  3. Select the tab for the grid you want to configure. All of the columns that currently display in the grids are listed. Use the following procedures to configure columns.

  4. To add columns, click Add and select columns from the Add Column dialog box. Make sure you select the appropriate check boxes for the new column.

  5. To remove columns, select a row and click Remove.

  6. To reorder columns, select a row and click Move Up or Move Down.

  7. To change the display name, click the appropriate cell in the Display Name column and enter the new name. Cells with a gray background cannot be edited.

  8. Use the Visible in Grid and Editable in Grid columns to specify if the column will display in the grid and if it will be editable. Cells with a gray background cannot be edited.

  9. Use the Visible in Rules and Editable in Rules columns to specify if the column will be available and editable from the Business Rules Manager. The Alert Rules Manager also applies for the Destinations grid. Cells with a gray background cannot be edited.

  1. Click Apply to apply and save column changes. If necessary, select another application tab and make the appropriate changes.

Configuring global document properties

From the Documents tab, you can determine which print preferences/document properties are supported throughout Barr EOM. You can also select the settings that are allowed for a particular property. These settings determine what is available to the user in the dialogs where properties are configured. When properties are disabled, those Document columns are also hidden in the Documents grids.

  1. From the Documents tab, click Configure. The Global Destination Capabilities dialog box is displayed. All of the document properties available in Barr EOM are listed and grouped into the following categories: Basic options, Media selection, Document, Image adjustments, Finishing, and Other properties. To expand a category and view the associated properties, click the down arrow next to a category name. To collapse a category, click the up arrow.

  2. Expand the appropriate category. All of the document properties that belong to that category are listed. Select the check boxes for properties you want to be available for configuration throughout Barr EOM. Clear the check boxes for properties you do not want to be available.

If a property is configured by selecting from a list of options, those options will display beneath the property. Select and clear the check boxes to determine the choices that will be available when those properties are configured.

Repeat this step until all properties are configured.

  1. When all of the properties are configured, click OK.

You can also configure global document properties from the Set General Preferences Utility.
