JSON syntax:

{
    "configPaths": {
        "explore":"Explore",
        "homePage":"HomePage",
    },

        "numberFormatting": { <number_format_options>  }
}
See:
Application-specific UI preferences

Application Unit System preferences for each One MI application.

JSON Syntax:

{    "<app_name>": { 
        "Preferences": {
            "unitSystem": {
                "userEditable":  true | false, 
                "defaultValue": "<unit_system_name>"
            }
        }
    }
}
Where:

  • userEditable (boolean) - Specifies whether application users can choose a different unit system in the Application preferences.

    When true, users can choose a different unit system. When false, users can view the current unit system but they cannot not change it:  

  • defaultValue (string) - Specifies the default Unit System for the application. For example: 

    "defaultValue": "SI (Consistent)"

For Example:


    "explore": {
        "preferences": {
            "unitSystem": {
                "userEditable": true,
                "defaultValue": "Metric"
            }
        }
    }
Users who can export data to Excel

Specifies a list of Windows Active Directory groups or User Manager Roles. Only users who are members of these groups or roles can export data from Granta MI to Excel via MI Export.

Members of these groups or roles can:
  • Launch MI Export from an Export Data to Excel option in MI Viewer and MI Explore.
  • Run export jobs in the One MI Export app, and download exported workbooks.
  • Users with MI Administrator privileges will also see an Export app button on the One MI toolbar, providing easy access to the template management features in the Export app.
Local Windows Active Directory group names should not include the local computer dot backslash ( .\ ) prefix here.
Note: Availability of the Export Data to Excel feature in MI Explore is also dependent on the value of the MI Explore application exportersDisabled data view configuration property, see Granta MI Administration and Configuration for details.

If exportersDisabled = true in the data view config, users won't be able to export data to Excel from MI Explore, even if they are members of one of the groups specified in Users who can export data to Excel.
One MI application server alternative machine names

Specifies each hostname and FQDN at which a user might access One MI.

This should include both the hostname and the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). You do not need to include the protocol (http, https).

If using User Manager, include each of those machine names again with the User Manager port number appended. The default User Manager port number is 9000. If the hostname and port shown in the browser when using One MI are not included here, then MI Server will refuse requests with a CORS error, causing access issues in the One MI application.

For example:

myhostname,myhostname.mydomain.com

Where User Manager is being used:

myhostname,myhostname.mydomain.com,myhostname:9000,myhostname.mydomain.com:9000
