As described earlier the IDABUS UI® frontend settings are configured in the “customConfig.dev.json” file (or if IDABUS UI® is published with the –prod option) in the “customConfig.prod.json” file respectively. Most of these settings are also available in the frontend (so called Variables configuration) and will overwrite the file configurations.
To open the Variables configuration (granted to people with administrative permissions for the loaded UI View Set only) click on Settings (Sidebar) > Goto setting (Variables configuration). The settings in the Variables configuration are categorized and more descriptive than their fallback settings in the JSON-files. The settings can also be configured using UI controls best appropriate for their data type (e.g, Color-Picker for colors, Numeric Up/Down input fields for numbers, Switches for booleans, etc.):
While changing settings both the Apply- and the Reset-Button are enabled in order to either store the changed settings or return to the settings that were present before the change. Once settings are applied or reset both buttons are disabled again until the next settings change is registered.
Applied changes won’t be stored in the JSON-file, only in the concurrent UI View Set (MIM-Portal database). For settings that were never touched the origin is still the JSON-file. This means that the settings are a merged object from both the JSON-file and the UI View Set. First the JSON-file settings are loaded and then overwritten by settings saved in the UI View Set.
To reset/delete all settings made in the UI, press Restore JSON settings. This will delete all customized settings from the UI View Set and completely return to the fallback settings made in the JSON-files.
