Documentation URL
The given URL is used to open the online documentation once the Workbench help is called. Change the path if you have access to a self-hosted INUBIT online documentation. However, this requires a running web server application.

General > Logging

As a default, all INUBIT Workbenches write logs into the shared log file <Operation system_specific_user_directory>/INUBIT/Toolset/<Version>/log/toolset.log.

Under Windows you can find the log file in the directory C:\Users\[User name]\AppData\Roaming.

For information about the log files in the Workbench, refer to Workbench Trace Log

Enable Logging
This option enables the logging of the program flow into the log file for error tracing.
Log level
For specifying the trace level.
Log output to console
When selected, and the INUBIT Workbench has been started in a Unix console, then the trace log is additionally output on the shell.
One log file per Workbench
Select this option if you want to use one log file per INUBIT Workbench. Without selection all INUBIT Workbench instances write into one log file.
Size of log files
If the given size is reached, the currently used log file is closed, labeled with a running number, for example log.2, and archived.
Number of log files
Defines how many files are created at maximum for archiving the INUBIT Workbench log. The INUBIT Workbench uses rolling logs: If the maximum number of files is created and the newest file has reached its maximum size, then the oldest file is overwritten.

Under Windows, this procedure is not supported if multiple Workbenches on the same system are connected with the same Process Engine.

General > Background image

Default background image
Set the background image displayed after login into the Workbench. Leave the entry empty to get a blank background.
Login background image
Choose the folder containing the background images to be displayed on the Workbench login screen. Leave the entry empty to get a blank background.
Rotate login background image after
Set the time delay after which the login background image should be switched to the next one.

When this option is selected, the source and target files are saved in the Process Engine by default for all new XSLT Converter.

This might lead to a performance issue if XSLT Converter modules are used extensively, and the option is set for all cases.

Designer

Offers the option to modify the display in Designer.

High diagram quality
When selected, diagrams are drawn in a higher quality. Deactivate this option in order to improve the performance of your computer.
Break module names
In this option, you specify for Technical Workflow, after how many characters module names are wrapped. If you specify too small a number of characters after which the name is wrapped, the whole name may sometimes not be displayed as only one line-break is allowed per module name (maximum two-line display).
Snap to grid
For aligning drawing elements. When selected, diagram elements snap to invisible grid-points when dragged and dropped.
Grid size intervals
Specifies the spacing between the grid-points.
Show workflow Connector links
When selected (default setting), where two Technical Workflows are connected an indication is displayed in the target workflow that a particular module is connected to a Workflow Connector in the other workflow.
Display intersections of lines as line jumps
When selected, intersecting lines are displayed as bridges. The bridge signals that the lines are not connected.
Use animations
When selected, some actions, as for example the auto-layouting in the INUBIT Workbench are animated. Deactivate this option in order to improve the performance of the INUBIT Workbench.
Drop shadows
For activating/deactivating drop shadows at diagram elements. Deactivate this option in order to improve the performance of the INUBIT Workbench.
Sort metadata alphabetically
When selected, the metadata allocated to a diagram element are displayed in alphabetical order in the Metadata Manager and in the dialog properties of the diagram element.
Comment indicator
When selected, a comment indicator is displayed on diagram elements that have a comment. By default, this option is always enabled.
Save and preselect the deployment target for next deployment
If selected, for first deployment User is preselected in Deployment in field. Further deployments use the target that was used in the previous deployment. If deselected (default), the Deployment in field in the Choose remote Process Engine dialog is automatically preselected if applicable.
- If the deployment is triggered in a user context and if the target username is same as the source username, then the user is preselected in the wizard.
- If the deployment is triggered in a user group context and if the target user group is same as the source user group, then the user group is preselected in the wizard.
- If the deployment is triggered in higher-level group context and if the target higher-level group is same as the source higher-level group, then the higher-level group is preselected in the wizard.
- If the deployment is triggered from an additional user group and if the same additional user group exists in the target, then the same additional user group is preselected in the wizard.
  In the following cases, the Deployment in field cannot be preselected. It will be left empty, and you have to choose the user/group on the target system manually.
- The user/user group/higher-level group names of source and target do not match.
- Objects are selected from multiple sources, for example from a user and a user group.
