OS.app System Configuration
OS.app System Configuration
Each application created with the OSbee Software Factory V4.5.5 and later contains the system configuration to manage system wide settings.
The system configuration has two parts:
- Configuration group
- Configuration
The configuration entries belong to a configuration group to bundle related configuration entries.
Configuration entries and groups show up during operation of the application, as soon as the entry is requested by the application. The default value is used as the initial value. As soon as the configuration entry is available, it can be adjusted to the local needs.
Deleting an entry will result in the recreation of the default value, as soon as the application requests the value.
Configuration values will be introduced without seperate notice. The description might contain values, that are not yet available in the OS.app you're using, depending on the version of the software factory used to build the applicatoin.
Configuration Attributes
There are various attributes used for the configuration. All entries have

Then, the prefix file: has to be used and the location can bei either relative or absolute. The relative location has to start with "file:", the absolute location has to start with "file:////" followed by the path to the rptdesign file.
The original report is used if the alternate report can not be found. The log contains hints about the search and the problem.
