TIBCO Nimbus® always determines file associations when launching file links will override the application specified by users to launch attached file links with the Windows default application. For example, a user may have specified a .txt file to launch in Microsoft Word. If this option is enabled then the application will launch in Notepad, i.e. the Windows default application used to launch .txt files.
Force UNC paths when file links, metric links and registry documents are added should be used if users have different mappings on their machines to the network drives. File paths will be converted from mapped drives into UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path names (for example N:\documents will be converted to \\servername\share\documents\) when file links, metric links and document links are added to the system. If this option is not selected and users have different mappings for networked drives, they may not be able to access file links, metric links and Document Registry links. Note: This will not work for local drives.
Use action server when users launch an email link will use the internal Email system as opposed to using users' default Windows Email program. Note: The Action Server must be configured for this option to work. Please refer to the Administrator's Guide located on the CD.
Default new links to launch in the same browser window will launch URL links in the same window as the web browser. Note: This option can be overridden for individual URL attachments.
Always show popup menu for attachments will always display a pop-up menu when users access an attachment, even if only one attachment exists. Note: Enable this option with caution as process authors may hide menu functions on free text boxes, for example, or links that they may not want users to see.
Allow access to file properties from file links reports will allow users to view file properties in the Document Registry through Windows Explorer.
Allow use of Excel based metric links will allow the use of Excel-based metric links. By disabling this option, existing Excel-based metric links will not be updated on diagrams and on users' Home pages, and Process Authors cannot create these types of metric links in the Author Client. Note: Performance issues may arise if many Excel-based metric links are created, therefore this option is disabled by default.
Allow Excel macros to be launched for metric links will allow Excel macros to be defined and run for metric links.
Automatically refresh Excel metric links when opening diagram will refresh metric links when diagrams are opened. Note: This may affect performance and therefore may need to be disabled.
Force non-standard URL launching for all users allows non-standard URL launching for customers who are unable to launch URL links/attachments.
Include diagram titles in new or updated flow line link tables will include the title of diagrams when flow line links are created or updated.
Allow link navigation from master diagrams into draft diagrams in the Author Client will allow users to access links in the author client that point from master to draft diagrams. If this option is not selected then users will be prevented from accessing draft diagrams. Note that users must have access to the draft diagram to follow a specific link.
Allow users to follow links from master diagrams into draft diagrams in the Web will allow users to access links in the web server that point from master to draft diagrams. If this option is not selected then users will be prevented from accessing draft diagrams. Note that users must have access to the draft diagram to follow a specific link.
Use a download style link when accessing documents in the web will provide users with a choice of saving or launching a document when they click a document link in the web. If this option is not selected then the document will automatically launch.
Allow File/Application Links to be added will allow users to add external file and application links to diagram objects.
Allow Web Links (URL) to be added will allow users to add web links to diagram objects.
