Customizing the User Preferences

Configure the preferences

To configure the preferences, you must override the default key values in the xml configuration file and then manually apply the product configuration.

Go to the ONEPART_INSTALLDIR.
Open the datadir\config\CustomConfigs.xml
Edit the values you require in the <CustomConfig name="userPreferences"> tag,
For example, to change any of the parameter values in <ns2:KeyValue key="parameters">
- for example, to change the defaults units system, edit the value in <ns2:KeyValue key="unitSystem" value="metric"/> to imperial
- or the value in <ns2:KeyValue key="compareNumericalTolerance" value="5"/> to 10 to increase the default threshold to 10% for numerical values
Save the file.
Run datadir\bin\buildgct.exe to rebuild the product configuration.

Note: For details on manually applying the configuration, see the Exalead CloudView Configuration Guide.
In the Administration Console home page, click Restart host.
