Settings list provides a list of all the settings that control the client environment, giving the user the possibility to display and configure these settings. The settings are ordered according to theme, the part of environment it's responsible for controlling. Within each theme the settings are sorted alphabetically. Mandatory settings are indicated with a * next to the name.

List of settings
There are two types of settings in UBIK client: Global Settings and User Specific Settings.
Global settings
The Global Settings include the following
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| AuthServerName | The name of the server to connect to for user authentication |
| AuthPortNumber | The port number to use when connecting to the authentication server (optional) |
| AuthProtocol | The protocol to use for authentication over the Internet (e.g.: HTTPS). Available since Version 2.4.2 - Android |
| UBIKAuthContentService | The name of the UBIK authentication service |
| MemoryUsage | Whether UBIK® should lazy load or eager load all the content. Available since Version 2.4.0 - Android |
User specific settings
The User Specific Settings include the following
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Protocol | The protocol to use for data communication over the Internet (e.g.: HTTPS) |
| PortNumber | The port number to use when connecting to the content server (optional) |
| PriorityThreshold | Any property with a priority number greater than this integer setting value is regarded as a high priority property and is highlighted when being displayed |
| UpdateExpirySeconds | The number of seconds one has to wait before the same update will be considered necessary. If an update of certain content has just ended successfully and is requested again within the amount of time configured in this setting, the client simply dismisses the new request. However, this setting does not affect Forced Updates in Manual Synchronization Mode. |
| SyncMode | The possible values are Automatic, Manual Commit and Offline. For more details, please refer to Sync Mode. |
| ShowSystemProperties | If set to true, all properties will be displayed; otherwise, only the ones that are marked as visible. |
Additionally, there are special cases of User Specific Settings that are available/visible before users login, to open the possibility of configuring the web service URL before logging in. These include the following
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| UBIKContextName | The UBIK CONTEXT name |
| UBIKApplicationName | The UBIK APPLICATION name |
| UBIKContentService | The name of the UBIK content service |
| ServerName | The name of the server to connect to for fetching content |
These settings have the following characteristics that differs them from other user specific settings
- available and editable before and after the login.
- carry the value "change if needed" initially before login, to indicate to the user that this setting doesn't need to be set if it already has a previously saved value.
AR settings
For the AR plugin, there are additional settings:
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| CompassOffsetDegrees | The offset in degrees to change the magnetic north and therefore the orientation of the device (global setting). |
Demo settings
Additionally, the demo application and its unique user specific settings are listed as follows
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| NumberPropertyEditor | Whether to use the normal keyboard or the UBIK Number Pickers for editing numeric properties |
| CurrentAltitude | The (mock) altitude in meters to use in Augmented Reality activities, for non-manual locations (e.g. GPS, since the altutide for this is too inaccurate) |
| AltitudeOffset | The offset in meters to add to the current altitude in Augmented Reality activities (used for configuration of the device height) |
| ContentDistanceFilterThreshold | The threshold in meters up to which billboards are displayed in Augmented Reality activities |
| PositioningMode | The different positioning modes of the Location Manager can be selected with this setting. |

The Load PreSet button can be used to Load Presets onto the settings.
