Admin: Other Tab

The properties on this tab are used to define how URLs and links provided within the Active Display should be shown, and whether or not Central Configuration is enabled (Summer 2006 and later releases only).

When you are finished making the necessary changes on this tab, click any other administration tab to save your changes and keep the administration interface open, or click OK to save your changes and return to the Active Display. If you enable Central Configuration, make sure you click Apply before moving to another administration interface tab.

SPS My Site Path

This field allows you to change the default SPS My Site characteristics of the web part. By default, the web part will modify the URL "/mysite" to point to "/personal/User". This allows the web part to search through the MySite section of SharePoint Portal Server. However, SPS allows the administrator to alter the URL definition for each SPS server. To accommodate this, the SPS My Site Path field allows you to alter the web part to support your organization’s SPS MySite setup.

Target Window

This entry allows you to define the target window for the links provided in the web part. For example, if you wanted any links that are clicked on to open in a new window, you would type “_new” in this field. Valid options include:

      _blank

      _new

      _parent

      _self

Go Directly to Item

When this checkbox is selected and the user clicks on a list item in the Active Display, the user will be brought directly to the list item. When the checkbox is left blank, the item link will take the user directly to the edit page for the list item.

Standard roll-ups offer a similar property called Go Directly to Document, but it applies only to document libraries. In Active Displays, this property functions for all list and library types.

Use Central Configuration

NOTE: This property is available in the Summer 2006 and later releases only.

Select this checkbox to enable Central Configuration (discussed in detail in Chapter 5 of the Capabilities Guide). If you enable Central Configuration, click Apply before moving to another administration interface tab. Some of the properties on the Sites & Lists tab will be disabled because they are managed by the entries in the Central Configuration List.
