To...
Do This...
Change your Home Page, the page that opens when you launch the console
From the first drop-down list, select any main menu choice: Operations, Resource Browser, Project Explorer, Security Configuration, or System Administration.
From the second drop-down list, select any one of the sub-menu choices. (The contents of the sub-menus dynamically change based on your first menu selection.)
Display Search Filters
Select Yes or No.
By default, search filters are not displayed (closed). By selecting Yes, search filters are always displayed (open).
Display Stage Annotations
Select Yes or No.
By default, pipeline stage annotations are not displayed (closed). By selecting Yes, stage annotations are always displayed (open).
Display Resource Metadata
Select Yes or No.
By default, resource metatdata sections are displayed (open). By selecting No, resource metatdata sections are not displayed (closed).
Change how often the console updates the display of data on the Dashboard
From the Dashboard Refresh Rate drop-down list, select No Refresh, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30 or 60 minutes as the refresh rate for the Dashboard.
The default rate is No Refresh, but you can select another predefined time. For example, if you select 5 minutes, the Dashboard is updated with data every 5 minutes.
WARNING: By selecting a dashboard refresh rate interval other than the default (No Refresh), the browser refreshes the Dashboard at regular intervals. This prevents your session from timing out, even without you interacting with the console.
WARNING: BEA Systems recommends that you use the Dashboard refresh rate feature with caution. You should never leave a console session unattended. While your console session is active others can gain access to it from your machine, without re-authentication.
Change the time interval for displaying historical data for alerts on the Dashboard
From the Alert History Duration drop-down list, select 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, or 6 hours as the time interval for displaying historical alert data. The default is 30 minutes (displays alerts received within the last 30 minutes) but you can select another predefined duration. For example, if you select 1 hour, the Dashboard displays the alerts received within the last hour.
