Switch to turn on custom formatting files or to turn it of completely.

• true - apply custom formatting (generic, database level, table level)
• false - switch of all custom formatting

Root folder of custom format files - this path is relative to the client root folder.

Switch to toggle if formatter files are allocated by the name of the catalog object or not.

• true - format objects by names is active

CUSTOM_FORMAT_FOLDER + / + FORMATFOLDER_SUBFOLDER_CONNECTION folder is the root of the formatter files. Connection subfolders are mandatory!!! This folder is also root folder for the database formatter files (arranged by connection)!!! The simple table name is the name of the formatter file e.g. for table dbo.T_CURRENCY the formatter file is T_CURRENCY.php

• false - format objects by catalog ID is active

CUSTOM_FORMAT_FOLDER + / + FORMATFOLDER_SUBFOLDER_CATALOG_ID folder is the root of the formatter files. The catalog id of an object is the name of the formatter file. E.g. for table dbo.T_CURRENCY the formatter file could be 202.php

Subfolder of CUSTOM_FORMAT_FOLDER where generic format files are located

Subfolder of CUSTOM_FORMAT_FOLDER where format files are located when formatter files are named like the catalog id. (if CUSTOM_FORMATTING_BY_CATALOG_NAME = false)

Subfolder of CUSTOM_FORMAT_FOLDER for menu item images and own icons and background images

Subfolder of CUSTOM_FORMAT_FOLDER for format folders on connectionlevel (if CUSTOM_FORMATTING_BY_CATALOG_NAME = true)

Formatter file name in folder CUSTOM_FORMAT_SUBFOLDER_GENERAL as overall format file. Applied always as first formatter

• true - on tablename level or/and catalog id level a formatter file with a language code of the activated language is applied as well

e.g. T_CURRENCY_en.php or 202_en.php

You can configure the system to display a welcome info on the login page and also that the help icon open your own help pages. When in your webhelp folder a file with then name login_help.html is available, then the content of this file will be displayed right to the login form.

• true - the default login help page does exist on language level (suffixed by _<language_code>.html)
• false - the default login help page does exist on language level

Mind that at login time the user language code is not available yet. Therefore the system language code must be applied to find the proper login help page.

URL to own help pages - called from grid editing or admin pages.

URLs for help pages may contain placeholders $documentRoot - document root direcotry of Apache $confFolder - substituted as 'conf' $clientFolder - current client folder $niotaRoot - path part which strats at Apache's document root and ends at 'niota' folder $customFormatFolder - substituted as 'formattings' $languageCode - default language code for grid pages $tableName - current catalog-object-instance object name $adminPage - references for 'option key' (ok) in the page URL of the current admin page. Only for 'HELP_CUSTOM_FILE_ADMIN'

Important! If you use a proxy then do not use the variable $documentRoot - it will resolve the IP address/DNS of the source machine! Instead you can define absolute path from the document root.
