The Server Configuration menu controls all of the major server settings for the FIT system. The following table lists the settings and their descriptions:
The server name to use instead of the default IP. This is used for links to the system, such as links to bugs in email notification summaries
The port that FIT is running on. If this is changed, you must stop and restart FIT for the new port to take effect. (default of 10000)
On systems with multiple IPs, this option will allow you to pick a desired IP
this option changes the look and feel of the system using additional looks that were created for other customers and then incomrporated into the product. Each skin has a matching style sheet.
This option allows you to customize the default style sheet used for displaying system pages. If you create a new CSS file and place it in the bugserver directory, it will be displayed in this list. See the Customization documentation on how to create a custom CSS file.
This option allows the administrator to restrict status states to only admin users and the user who opened a given issue. This means that no other users can move the issue to any of these status states. The states are controlled with the sRestrictStatusValue string. This string consists of a comma-delimited list of states that are to be restricted.
This option automatically adds the creator of every issue to the Notify List for that issue. These users are then sent notifications of all changes to a given issue.
Remove the Edit Profile link so that users can not modify their user information and passwords
Allow ReadOnly users to modify their user information and passwords
Stop the server from automatically opening a browser and connecting to the server. Particularly useful on console systems, which do not have a Graphics context that allows this.
changes the readonly default for status (controlled by sDefaultStatus) to a Read/Write field that can be edited.
Show the number of times an issue was rejected (beside the status label)
this option turns off the automatic url generation that is used for detected URLs and strings of the form "Bug X" (linking to bugs)
Add all attachments to outgoing notifications
This will automatically check the Suppress Notification check box on the Edit Bug screen.
This will disable automatic checking of the Suppress Notification check box on the Bulk Update screen.
Remove the "Are you sure" prompt from admin menu deletes.
If enabled, parent cannot be closed until all children are closed. If a child is changed from the closed state, the parent is re-opened.
This will enable jump by 10 links on the View Issue screens, right next to the default jump back/front links.
This option will remove the feature that catches duplicate submissions (such as hitting submit button twice).
Default time zone used for the server, if different from system time.
This removes the "View All Bugs" link from the main menu as it can cause slower performance.
This option appends the User Tag (from a user's profile) to the userid in all dropdowns in the system. This is nice for systems where userids are not immediately obvious.
This option displays the User Tag as a prefix instead of a suffix. This option is used in conjunction with the preceeding one.
This option can be used if you are using an alternate login page, separate to the system. Without this option, a user will go to the default login page when they logout of the system.
This option helps minimize the impact of the "View All Bugs" option. Smaller grouping sizes will have a smaller impact on the system.
Default number of attachment prompts that are available on edit screens.
This controls the leading zeros that are displayed for the issue id. It offers a way to enforce that IDs are a consistent size.
The inactivity time that will cause a session id to expire.
The history type that will be used for notifications where it can not be obtained from a user profile (ie: anonymous).
A security feature that will limit the number of failed login attempts.
This option uses cookies for the session IDs. This eliminates the possibility of users accidentally exposing them if they copy/paste a URL.
Remove option from login screen for remembering passwords.
enforce that at least 8 characters are used for passwords.
enforce that at least 1 upper case letter is used in passwords.
enforce that at least 1 lower case letter is used in passwords.
enforce that at least 1 number is used in passwords.
enforce that at least 1 character is used that is not a number or a letter.
