Preferences

Genesys Administrator Extension enables you to customize the interface to suit your personal preferences. These preferences take effect each time that you, or anyone using your login credentials, logs in to Genesys Administrator Extension from any browser.

To open the Preferences menu, click Preferences (gear icon) in the Header Bar of the main Genesys Administrator Extension screen. If configured, the menu displays the last time that this user account was logged into Genesys Administrator Extension.

Click the gear icon to open the Preferences menu.

Important

To use the last login time feature, you must ensure:

• The date and time of the local computer and the Management Framework computer are synchronized for the last login time to be accurate.
• The following lines are included in the Configuration Server confserv.cfg file (located in the installation directory of the machine that hosts Configuration Server):
  • last-login = true
  • last-login-synchronization = true

The Preferences menu contains four options:

• User Preferences
• System Preferences
• About—Click this option to view information about your installation. If your user account has the Read Deployable and Undeployable IPs and SPDs privilege, you can also view information about the Configuration Server to which you are connected.
• Genesys Administrator

Important

Settings in the User Preferences menu take precedence over settings in the System Preferences menu. For example, if the System Preferences language setting is English (US) and the User Preferences language setting is different, Genesys Administrator Extension will use the User Preferences language setting.

Throttling

Genesys Administrator Extension enables you to throttle how many simultaneous changes are sent to Configuration Server. You can optimize these settings to help ensure consistent performance across your Genesys environment.

Change the Bulk Update Batch Size field to specify how many bulk updates for configuration objects can be executed simultaneously. The default value is 300. A value of 0 indicates that there will be no throttling of changes for configuration objects (all requested operations will be sent to Configuration Server without delay). You can enter 0 or any positive integer in this field.

Important

The maximum Bulk Update Batch Size for users who are entering from Genesys Administrator is 300.

Change the Bulk Update Batch Timeout field to specify how long (in seconds) Genesys Administrator Extension should wait between the execution of bulk-update operations. The default value is 1. A value of 0 indicates that there will be no delay between bulk-update operations. You can enter any value between 0 and 300 in this field.
