Edit user preferences
The preference settings in your user profile control the general display and dialog options of your censhare Web account. You can customize your preferences or return to the default settings of censhare Web at any time.
Prerequisites
Basic understanding of censhare Web and the default workspace.
Context
In censhare Web, you access your user preferences from the user menu. To open the user menu, click your name or user icon in the Top navigation of your censhare Web workspace.
Introduction
The first time you log in to censhare Web, your personal profile uses the default settings of censhare Web. You can customize many of these settings to suite your personal preferences. For example, List view is the default setting for search results in censhare Web. If you usually prefer to view results in a different way, you can easily set a new default view in your user preferences.
Edit user preferences
To view or edit your user preferences, select Preferences in the user menu. The User preferences dialog opens. To access your preference settings, select different tabs on the User preferences dialog.
General
This tab contains your Language, Calendar, and Login settings.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Language | In the User interface language field, select the language that censhare Web uses for menus, navigation items and labels on the user interface. The default setting is English (US). |
In the Preview language field, select the language that censhare Web uses to display asset properties. For example, in Properties widgets, Table widgets, Report widgets and Preview widgets. If a language selector is configured in the toolbar of these widgets, you can change the displayed language individually in a widget without changing the Preview language setting. If the preview language that you selected is not available for a specific property, your default language is displayed instead. | |
Date format | In the Format field, select the way that date information is formatted in censhare Web. The default setting is day, month, year (DD.MM.YYYY). |
Calendar | In the Week starts on field, select the day of the week on which the weeks of your calendar start. The default setting is Monday. |
Notification | Activate the E-mail field to receive notifications generated from the system. If you have no e-mail address stored in you profile, the field is disabled and cannot be activated. Ask a system administrator to add your email address to your user data. |
Views
This tab contains settings for the Default views that censhare Web uses to display search results.
Note: After your search results display, you can switch to other view modes. Your preference settings only define the default view.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Search page | Select the default view that censhare Web uses to display results on a search page. |
Related search page | Select the default view for results on a related search page. The Show relations option in the actions menu of an asset opens a related search page. |
Asset chooser | Select the default view for results in the asset chooser dialog. For example, the asset chooser that opens when you create an asset from a template. |
Gallery view size | Select the default size of images in the Gallery view of an asset list. To select a size, move the slider to the desired position (XS, S, M, L, XL). |
For more information, see Working with asset lists.
New assets tab
This tab contains settings for the creation of New assets.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Use my domain for new child assets | By default, all newly created assets get the domain of the user who is creating them. With the option “Use ‘My domains’ for new child assets”, assets created in the context of an existing asset will automatically be assigned to the domain of that asset. That is the case, for example, if you create relations in an asset and create a new asset when doing so. |
Duplicate suffix | Add the defined text after the name of every asset that you duplicate. If you duplicate an entire asset structure, the defined text is also added to the names of the associated child assets. |
Variant suffix | Add the defined text after the name of every asset variant that you create. |
Working copy suffix | Add the defined text after the name of every asset that you create as a working copy of an asset that is already published. For more information, see Managing the release process. |
Files upload
This tab contains Files upload and Enable duplicate check settings.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
New assets | Define whether censhare Web looks for duplicates when you upload files. To automatically compare files that you upload to assets that already exist on your system, select Enable duplicate check. To create a new asset every time you upload a file (even for files that already exists as an asset), clear this option. For more information, see Creating assets. |
Presets | Define how censhare Web handles file uploads. The Presets control the size of individual chunks in an upload and the number of simultaneous uploads. Because censhare processes larger uploads in chunks, you can resume an unsuccessful upload from the last chunk that uploaded successfully.
|
File upload settings
Adjustment of the settings in this area is only necessary when the Custom preset is selected.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Chunk size | Define the size of chunks into which censhare divides larger files during the upload process. If the total size of the upload file is smaller than the defined chunk size, no chunks are created. The minimum chunk size is 512 KB. The maximum chunk size is 20 MB. Censhare can process a maximum of 1,000 chunks per upload file. If the calculated number of chunks exceeds 1,000, censhare adjusts the chunk size automatically. |
Upload chunks | Define how many chunks are uploaded at the same time. The minimum number of chunks is 1. The maximum number of chunks that can be uploaded simultaneously is 10. |
Upload files | Define how many files are uploaded at the same time. The minimum number of files is 1. The maximum number of files that can be uploaded simultaneously is 10. If you upload more than 10 files at once, the files that exceed the limit are placed in a queue. |
Note: The censhare server allows up to 10 simultaneous connections. To check the maximum number of server connections that your settings require, multiply Upload chunks by Upload files. The result shows the maximum number of connections to the censhare server that your settings can produce. For example, an Upload chunks setting of 2 and an Upload files setting of 5 equals a maximum of 10 simultaneous server connections (2 x 5=10). Verify that your custom settings do not exceed the server limit.
Translations
This tab contains Automatic translation settings for the Translation with memory application.
The Translation with memory application can translate text segments and asset properties automatically. In this tab, you define the percentage values that censhare uses for the automatic translation of segments that match.
For more information, see Translate with memory.
Result
You can adjust your personal preferences to suit your needs.
