How to persist "Settings" #4

Open melissapalmer opened 9 years ago

melissapalmer commented 9 years ago

Hi

Firstly thanks for a great plugin - I am trying to use and evaluate at the moment. I was wondering if there is a way to persist the "Settings" so that I can ensure all uses will end up seeing the same view? For example I want to exclude one of the sub-processes from the reporting view.

Thanks Melissa

Hi Melissa,

first of all - thank you for evaluating the plugin :) Regarding your question: In the current version the settings are stored per user per browser as I assumed that everyone would prefer his or her own settings.

Can you give further details on your requirement? An import/export function via some file seems the most proper way for me, as I want to prevent any (camunda) db interaction for that. What do you think?

Anyway, you could probably "hack" that function very quickly:

  1. configure your settings on the "master" machine. Browse your LocalStorage settings via a web developer console (e.g. in chrome) and copy the respective value to an email or so for all recipients of your settings, the key should be like "pluginSettings_"+your username.
  2. Every recipient opens the cockpit and afterwards change their LocalStorage to your configuration

Do you have any additional feedback?

Cheers,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply... I'm wanting to use this in production environment where there'll be a number of business users who want be knowledgeable about how to setup local storage etc. so this isn't really the best options going forward.

I agree there will be that element where users do want their own settings. In this case we have a sub process... which really doesn't mean much to the end user and therefore want to exclude it from these views.

We have a really small process right, will few users so will be able to train people for now.

Thanks Melissa
