Configuring the application options

By default, the appearance and behavior of the Meridian Explorer client application are acceptable for most users but you can configure numerous options to further optimize their experience.

To configure the application options:

  1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the REPOSITORIES group, click Options. The User Defaults Options page appears.
  2. In the menu, click APPLICATION. The list of configurable options appears.
  3. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
Meridian Explorer application options
Option Description

APPLICATION OPTIONS group

Enable Meridian download control

Enable (default) this option to use the BlueCielo Upload/Download control for file transfers. Meridian Explorer users can configure the options of the control as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Explorer User's Guide.

Enable draft print

If enabled (default), the Draft Print command is available to users in the viewer pane if:

  • The property page is configured to show document content from Meridian Enterprise Web Access as described in Creating and editing detail page layouts
  • The documents exist in the vault and are published as a Web Access location

Enable watermarks on draft print hardcopies

If enabled and watermarks are configured in the source vault, they will also be printed on the output. The default is disabled. For information about configuring the appearance of watermarks, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Administrator's Guide.

Hide status columns from grid

If enabled, hides the column that show document status icons. The default is disabled.

Note    If enabled, this will disable display of the number of available rows in the current view and the workflow status column in the results grid is hidden from view by users.

Include empty values in navigation view

If enabled (default), navigation view levels for properties that are empty are shown instead of hidden. The default is enabled.

Optimize grid queries

Leave disabled (default) unless directed by BlueCielo Technical Support. See also Troubleshooting full-text indexing.
  MERIDIAN SCRIPT EVENTS group

Disable feedback comment events

If enabled, the following Meridian Enterprise events do not occur:

  • AIMS_AddComment
  • AIMS_UpdateComment
  • AIMS_CloseComment
  • AIMS_DeleteComment

Use Meridian impersonation

If enabled (default), the account of the IIS application pool under which the application runs will be used to connect to Meridian Enterprise for features like discussion comments, redlining, retrieving watermark data, uploading documents to the vault, and VBScript events. This prevents the Kerberos double hop problem. The application pool and the Meridian Enterprise server must run under the same service account.

If disabled, the connection to Meridian Enterprise impersonates the Meridian Explorer user. The application pool and the Meridian Enterprise server do not need to run under the same service account. The Kerberos double hop problem can occur if the Meridian Enterprise server is run on a different computer than Meridian Enterprise Server.

SYSTEM SETTINGS group

URL for viewer download

If the Enable BlueCielo viewer control option is enabled as described in Configuring the viewer options and you want Meridian Explorer users to download the control from a location on your network, type a URL where the control can be downloaded by users. This URL will appear in an empty viewer windows until the user installs the control. By default, a URL to the viewer control on the BlueCielo website will be shown.

Print list folder

By default, the Meridian Enterprise Server draft print document list is stored in C:\ProgramData\BlueCieloECM\EnterpriseServices. To store the file in a different location on the server, type the path here.
