NOTE: This topic applies only to Advanced Spreadsheet Roll-Ups from Summer 2005 and later releases. If you are working with a prior release, please see “Web Part Properties (Pre-Summer 2005 Only)” instead.
The top few fields on this tab are used to define how URLs and links provided within the roll-up should be displayed. The remaining field is used to enable multi-threading, which causes roll-ups to share processing power, rather than allowing a single roll-up to consume all available resources.
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 roll-up display.
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.
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:
This setting applies to Document roll-ups only.
This field is used to identify the root folder where documents reside within a list. This property is required in order to permit editing and/or linking to an item. Since this list property is language-dependant, the equivalent (URL Dir Name) must be entered if a different language is chosen.
This setting applies to Document roll-ups only.
This field is used to identify the direct location where documents reside within a list. This property is required in order to permit direct linking to an item. Since this list property is language-dependant, the equivalent (Encoded Absolute URL) must be entered if a different language is chosen.
By default, CorasWorks Web parts will attempt to categorize text as a URL. If this checkbox is selected and you have text with a format of "http://www.site.com" it will translate this text to a URL and automatically place the correct tags around it to make it clickable. If you do not want this to occur, clear the checkbox to disable this feature.
This setting applies to Document roll-ups only.
When this checkbox is selected and an item in a document library is returned by the web part, the item link will go directly to the document returned. When the checkbox is left blank, the item link will take the user directly to the edit page for the item. This property only functions for document library types.
When this checkbox is selected, the web part (Web Part A in the example below) is allowed to manage its own threads, rather than submitting threads to be serially queued in the SharePoint thread management process. This allows parallel execution of multiple web parts, improving server performance under heavy loads.
NOTE: This option should only be enabled if you meet the following criteria.
• Your web server has multiple processors
• Web Part A is being used for heavy transactions against SQL server, returning 1000+ Items
• There is a heavy user load on web part A
• You have configured the IIS application pool corresponding to the virtual server to use multiple worker processes (a.k.a. Web Garden)
Enabling this option on Web Part A may not improve the performance of Web Part A. However, this option is designed to allow Web Part A to run independently of the SharePoint web part queue. This means that control will be returned to the SharePoint process more rapidly, allowing other web parts and web part pages to be rendered while the “expensive” Web Part A is running.
IMPORTANT! Only perform the following steps if you understand the use and impact of editing the web.config file.
If you enable this option and notice that the web part times out, you will be required to update the web.config for the virtual server hosting the site where this web part is being used.
NOTE: Make a copy of the web.config file before attempting the following.
The web.config file has a line which states "<WebPartWorkItem Timeout="7000" />". This specifies the amount of time given to a thread to collect and present data. If you are collecting large amounts of data, this may need to be increased to support this higher load. The 7000 represents 7000 milliseconds. If you wish to allow a thread to execute for a longer period, you must change this to the value you require. (Example: 60 Seconds = 60000). Some experimentation may be required.
