3.3.2 Configuring General Style Studio Properties

The General tab of the 'Style Studio Configuration' dialog box allows you to specify several properties relating to the appearance and behavior of Style Studio. To open the dialog box, select 'Configure' from the Style Studio 'File' menu, and select the General tab.

 

The following options are available:

Look & Feel: Sets the general appearance of the Style Studio interface.

Single Style Studio Instance: If enabled, allows only a single instance of Style Studio to run on the desktop.

Auto-Save: Automatically saves a copy of the current report with the frequency specified by the 'Interval' setting. This helps to protect against data loss in case of a machine failure. When you restart Style Studio after such a failure, Style Studio prompts you to restore files from the auto-saved copies.

Report Directory: Specifies a directory containing reports for which Style Studio should routinely assess asset dependencies (optional).

Preview Server Features: Enables hyperlinks and other server features from with the preview tab.

Parameter Name Unique: Specifies that every occurrence of a parameter name in a report refers to the same parameter.

Enable Security: Instructs Style Studio to apply security policies (including login challenge) during report preview. This is useful for testing VPMs or other user-dependent filters. Authentication and authorization settings are drawn from Enterprise Manager. (See Security in Administration Reference for details on creating users, etc.)

Save User Name/Password: Caches the most recently entered user name and password to reuse for subsequent report previews (without further prompting). This relieves you from re-entering login credentials when you are repeatedly previewing a report as the same user.
