There are two types of settings in UBIK client: Global Settings and User Specific 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) |
| UBIKAuthContentService | The name of the UBIK authentication service |
The User Specific Settings include the following
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| UBIKContextName | The UBIK CONTEXT name |
| UBIKApplicationName | The UBIK APPLICATION name |
| UBIKContentService | The name of the UBIK content service |
| Protocol | The protocol to use for data communication over the Internet (e.g.: HTTPS) |
| ServerName | The name of the server to connect to for fetching content |
| 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, the demo application and its unique user specific settings are listed as follows
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| PrepareMode | This is set to true/false when users switch the client to offline/online mode in the start menu. However, editing this setting directly might not trigger the expected behavior |
| 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 |
| ContentDistanceFilterThreshold | The threshold in meters up to which billboards are displayed in Augmented Reality activities |
| PositioningMode | The different modes of the positioning service can be selected with this setting. |
