Resource Finder

Field or Control

Description

Enable Resource Finder

Select this check box to use the Resource Finder feature.

Use Resource Finder for Profile Pages

Select to use Resource Finder participant profiles as the source for workspace member profiles accessible from the Members module. When a user clicks a member name link in the Members module, the member profile that appears will be based on the member's Resource Finder participant profile.

For this option to work as designed, you must have the following setup in place:

  • Resource Finder must be set up and loaded with data. This setup includes the generation of associated Resource Finder search collections.

  • Resource Finder participants must be loaded with their associated user IDs where applicable.

If you do not select this option, when a user clicks a member name link in the Members module, the member profile that appears is based on information from thePSOPRDEFN, PSUSEREMAIL, EPPCW_MEMBERS, and PS_EPPRC_IM_USERVW tables.

See Using the Members Module.

Collaborative Workspaces

Field or Control

Description

Maximum Email Notifications

Enter the maximum number of email messages you want to be able to send in the member invitation notification process for a workspace.

If the number of email messages sent in the notification process exceeds this number, the system displays an error message and does not send any email messages.

Default Module Image

Select the name of the image you want to appear by default in the workspace menu to the left of a module name. If an image is defined for a module, then the system overrides this default image.

Default Presence Indicators in Members Module

Select to display instant messaging presence indicators in the Members module. If you decide to display presence indicators, keep in mind that one server trip is executed per indicator per member.
