Customizing project status graphics

Use the Distributed Property Management (DPM) Explorer to use different graphics for project status in Interviewer Console. The DPM Explorer is installed with the UNICOM Intelligence Developer Documentation Library (DDL). You can install the DDL from any UNICOM Intelligence installation CD-ROM.

1 Run DPMExplorer.exe on the server computer. DPMExplorer.exe is installed in the folder Code\Tools\VB.NET\DPM Explorer.Net.

2 In the left pane, expand the top node (the site name) and then expand the Properties node.

3 In the left pane, expand the following DPM collection (create the collection if it does not already exist): Remote Devices > Configuration > IPlayer Console > Rules.

4 Modify the Icon location and Max and Min values for the following items, as desired. The Max and Min values are used to determine if a project’s last synchronization is up-to-date, will soon be out-of-date (warning), or out-of date.

Icon_48 and Icon_Manual_48 are 48x48 bit versions of each icon; Icon_16 and Icon_Manual_16 are 16x16 bit versions of each icon.

The updated values will be propagated to all remote computers during synchronization.

Change the Icon_48 (images/sync_uptodate.gif) and Icon_16 (images/sync_uptodate_small.gif) values to point to the location of your custom icons, under the installation directory on the remote computers, to display when a project is up-to-date, and change the values for Max (48 hours) and Min (0 hours) if desired.

Change the Icon_Manual_48 (images/uptodate.png) and Icon_Manual_16 (images/uptodate_small.png) values to point to the location of your custom icons, under the installation directory on the client computer, to display when a project is up-to-date. See UptoDate for synchronized projects for the Max and Min descriptions that also apply to locally deployed projects.

Change the Icon_48 (images/sync_warning.gif) and Icon_16 (images/sync_warning_small.gif) values to point to the location of your custom icons, under the installation directory on the remote computers, to display when a project will soon be out-of-date, and change the values for Max (96 hours) and Min (49 hours) if desired.

Change the Icon_Manual_48 (images/warning.png) and Icon_Manual_16 (images/warning_small.png) values to point to the location of your custom icons, under the installation directory on the client computer, to display when a project is up-to-date. See Warning for synchronized projects for the Max and Min descriptions that also apply to locally deployed projects.

Change the Icon_48 (images/sync_outofdate.gif) and Icon_16 (images/sync_outofdate_small.gif) values to point to the location of your custom icons, under the installation directory on the remote computers, to display when a project is out-of-date, and change the values for Max (999999 hours) and Min (97 hours) if desired.

Change the Icon_Manual_48 (images/outofdate.png) and Icon_Manual_16 (images/outofdate_small.png) values to point to the location of your custom icons, under the installation directory on the client computer, to display when a project is up-to-date. See OutOfDate for synchronized projects for the Max and Min descriptions that also apply to locally deployed projects.

Change the Icon_48 (images/sync_inactive.gif) and Icon_16 (images/sync_inactive_small.gif) values to point to the location of your custom icons, under the installation directory on the remote computers, to display when a project is inactive.

Change the Icon_Manual_48 (images/inactive.png) and Icon_Manual_16 (images/inactive_small.png) values to point to the location of your custom icons, under the installation directory on the client computers, to display when a project is up-to-date. See Inactive for synchronized projects for the Max and Min descriptions that also apply to locally deployed projects.

▪The images are not copied from the server to the remote computers; the images must be manually placed in the correct locations on the remote computers.

▪You can replace the icons with your own custom icons. The custom icons must have the same name and extension as the icons they are replacing. Save a copy of the original icons before replacing them with custom icons.
