Email format - This specifies the format of outgoing emails to this operator. The available choices are plain text or HTML formats. There is also a special HTML format for Outlook 2007 users, to send correct emails for this email reader (Outlook 2007 uses the Word HTML rendering engine which requires special formatting to be displayed correctly).

Refresh - This specifies the refresh time in seconds for various pages in the management interface.

Advanced operator properties

This section contains a few advanced operator properties. They can normally be left at their default values.

Report style - When reports are viewed in the management interface, or scheduled to be sent automatically, the reports use a specific style in regards to color, fonts etc. The style is specified per report, but this setting allows INM to force another report style to be used instead when viewing or sending reports to this operator.

View report - This setting allows to change how reports should be viewed in the management interface. When viewing a report the report can either be displayed in the same browser window, or opened in a new browser window.

Compression - This setting specifies a threshold in Kilobytes from when INM starts sending compressed data to the operator. A setting of 0 indicates no compression.

Disable history - When set, the usage history window to the right in the management interface will no longer be displayed.

 

Operator access configuration section

This section contains access rights configuration for the operator. For full details about access rights, please see the Operator access rights chapter.

Individual access rights can be specified in this section. An access right of modify always implies read rights, so it is not necessary to specify both in this case. The buttons in the bottom of this section can be used to quickly set access rights for commonly used operator configurations.

Dashboard widget access configuration section

This section contains access rights configuration for individual dashboard widgets. If set, the operator has the ability to use that particular widget. For information about the dashboard and different widgets see the dashboard documentation.
