Preferences

Preferences configure the characteristics and behavior of MarkView components. Each preference contains a variety of attributes that determine how the preference settings interact with the MarkView.

Note You cannot add preferences through MarkView or the Process Monitor using the MarkView Administration. You can only configure Preferences using seed data scripts that come with the MarkView suite or through MarkView API commands.

You can set preferences at the system level, the group level, or the user level. For details about preferences and preference settings, see the Kofax MarkView Administrator's Guide Volume 1.

Change preference settings

  1. Log in to MarkView home with administrative privileges.
  2. Select Administration > MarkView Admin and select the Preferences tab.
  3. Search for the preference to change and click Details in the preference row.

    The Details page opens showing tabs for the level of preference implementation. Not all preferences provide tabs or settings for all levels.

    • System Preferences: Affect users system-wide. System preferences override default values.

    • Group Preferences: Affect all users in a MarkView User Group. Group preferences override system preferences.

      For example, if a system preference establishes a threshold of 24 hours, a group preference can override the setting and establish a threshold of 12 hours.

    • Organization Preferences: Affect all users in an organization. Organization preferences override Group and System preferences.

    • User Preferences: Affect the user. User preferences override system, group, and organization preferences.

  4. Select the tab for the level of implementation to use and continue as follows:

    • To change a preference, click Details, make the changes, and click Save.

    • To add a setting, click Add, complete the required fields, and click Save.

Preferences used by the Application Server may require that you restart the related server for the settings to take effect. For example, Capture and Output preference changes require that you restart the server to take effect.

Preferences used by MarkView home and the database do not require a restart.

If you are unsure about a preference, change the preference in a non-production environment to see if the change takes effect without restarting the service.

Note For information about preference attributes, see Preference attributes.
