[edit]

Android

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.


Available settings

All users have at least access to all settings statet in List of settings. Additional settings, namely the AR settings or Demo settings are only available if the regarding plugin is part of the application built.

List of settings

The basic stock of settings includes:

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).
UBIKAuthContentService The name of the UBIK authentication service
MemoryUsage Whether UBIK® should lazy load or eager load all the content.
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.
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
ExpectSingleSearchResult If checked, single search results will be displayed in the ContentBrowser immediately instead of being shown in the result list. Available since Version 2.5.0 - Android


AR settings

The AR plugin has additional settings:

Name Purpose
CompassOffsetDegrees The offset in degrees to change the magnetic north and therefore the orientation of the device (global setting).
Pose Estimation Systems The different pose estimation systems considered in the Location Manager can be activated or deactivated with this setting.
SpatialiteDbPath The path to the sqlite database containing the routing graph. It will be looked for on the public internal storage (Google calls that the "Primary External Storage"), which is NOT the SD-card.
StandardMapZoomLevel Specifies the zoom level, which should be applied when using the zoom features of the Map View.
DefaultMapZoomLocation Specifies the position, which should be zoomed to when opening the Map View after login.
ContentDistanceFilterThreshold The threshold in meters up to which billboards are displayed in Augmented Reality activities; also influences the scaling of billboards depending on their distance.
NFC Scan Result Type Specifies the type of information, which should be extracted from scanned RFID tags.


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
SupportIntentTarget The actual Uri / Activity class / app package to be opened as an Android intent when the support action is triggered.
SupportIntentType The type of the target (URI/APP_PACKAGE/ACTIVITY_CLASS) to be opened as an Android intent when the support action is triggered.


Characteristics of settings

Settings have the following characteristics and behavior within the application:

  • Available and editable before and after the login.
  • Changes done before login are applied to the next user who attempts to login.
    • This goes for applying presets as well.
    • After applying a preset, changes of settings are also applied.
    • The settings defined are not just used by the user as new settings configuration, but are merged with the settings the user already has, and are overriding them.
  • Changes after login are saved for the user currently logged in. After logout and new login, they are restored, merged with the settings changed before login if there are some and finally they get applied to the user.
  • If a completely new user attempts to login without defining settings before or loading a preset, the default values of the settings as defined for the respective app are used.


PreSet actions

Load PreSets

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

Save PreSets

The Save PreSet button that is only available after login, can be used to Save Settings as Presets.

WinX

There are several categories of settings, each providing a group of configurable options for (a) specific feature(s).

Preamble

These settings should not be changed!

Name Purpose
xml version The XML version used to interpret the profile.Normally it is set to version "1.0".
encoding Denotes the encoding used for the Profile. Normally it is set to "utf-8".
Profile Denotes the schema, how the Profile will be set up afterwards, i.e. the structure and order of the different configurable options for (a) specific feature(s) in the Profile.

General

This initial section in the Profile description contains some general settings.

Name Purpose
AutoBranchSync Denotes whether the branch below an object will be synchronized automatically or not. It is set to "false" by default.
AutoBranchSyncPeriod Denotes the period for automatic synchronization in seconds. Its value is set to "0" by default, when the AutoBranchSync is set to false. Otherwise it should take an other figure.
BranchDownloadSubLevels Denotes which, and how many sublevels below a branch should be downloaded. Its value is set to "0" by default, ie. it does not download lower levels.
Customizing To be filled out.
Description To be filled out.
ExpertMode To be filled out.

Connection

This section contains properties to denote the internal connection settings of the App.

Name Purpose
Application Denotes the name of the Application that will be run, e.g. one could use "YourApp" as the name for an Application.

AuthenticationProtocol Denotes which Transfer Protocol for Authentication might be used. By default "https" is used.
AuthenticationServer Denotes the Authentication Server, e.g. "your.auth-server.net" could be used.
AuthenticationService Denotes the path on the Authentication Server to the Authentication Service File, e.g. the path might be "YourFolder/YourApp/USAM/USAM.svc". In this case the User System Authentication Manager (USAM) is used.
AuthenticationServiceConfig To be filled out.
ConnectionTimeOut Denotes the time in seconds when the Connection will be interrupted because of a Timeout.
ContentPort Denotes the Port used on the Content Server. Default values might be: 443; 777; 888; Often it is the same port as for the Authentication Server.

Content

These internal content settings control the behaviors and activities of the content data.
