QCD Configuration Settings

Warning:

This section is restricted to Platform administrator only.

Some settings are general and therefore applied to the whole platform. The configuration is based on parameters that can be modified directly through the backend. In a form of « key=value » form, it must be composed of 5 elements:

• hasOrange: adds orange in addition to red and green.

  • true / false

• hasDoubleThreshold: manages two thresholds per indicator.

  • true / false

• categories: list of default categories

  • Category 1, Category 2, Category 3, Category 4, Category 5

• hasCategories: adds the type property of the category within an action

  • true / false

• hasProblemCriticity: adds the criticity level of the category within an action.

  • true / false

• escalationTypes: list of default escalation types

  • Level 1, Level 2, Level 3

• qcdLabel: labels of QCD elements

  • value

• backgroundFolder: directory with the standard board backgrounds

  • value

• commonIndicatorsAtStartUp: determines whether the indicator Threshold settings are checked to “Common” by default.

  • true / false

• enableConsolidation: option allowing indicator consolidation.

  • true / false

• enableAutoLaunchConsolidation: option allowing automatic consolidation triggering.

  • true / false

• isActionOwnerMandatory: determines whether the field « Owner » is mandatory or not when an action is edited.

  • true / false

• hasMobileInterface: determines if the “Input of indicator” menu is displayed in the QCD utility so the corresponding interface can be used.

  • true / false

• showEscalatedActionWithResponseInRoomTable: automatically removes an action from the action table of the room to which it is escalated when it receives a response.

  • true / false

• enableExternalUserSearch: defines the scope of the search for authors and owners of QCD actions.

  • true / false

• forceRegenerationOfActionIdOnImport: the default setting is “true”. When set to “false”, this option allows to bypass the standard behaviour during the board and room import that regenerates the QCD actions IDs to avoid duplication. Sometimes, in case of migration purpose, it may be useful to keep them as is.

  • true/false

The impacts of the values of these parameters are described in the user guide.

Viewing and Editing Configuration Settings

You can view and modify the QCD configuration settings from the Add-ons menu in the platform's administration interface.

When the add-on is deployed on the server, a QCD line is displayed.

1. Hover over the line and click Configure to access the list of settings.

   

   The following interface displays the settings and their values:

   

2. Click Edit configuration to modify configuration settings and their values.

   

3. Save your changes. After saving, the new settings are automatically applied to all new user sessions.

   

Note:

Changing the values of “categories” and “escalationTypes” is not applied:

• to existing actions

• in the room settings
