One MI settings

Application main menu configuration

This setting contains JSON that defines the One MI application main menu.

As well as integrated Granta MI applications, this menu can also be configured to include links to the standalone Granta MI Viewer web application, or to web pages, such as company procedures, wiki pages, or training resources.

For details of how you can modify this setting to customize the available menus for your Granta MI users, refer to One MI application configuration in Granta MI Administration and Configuration.

Name	Value

When true, users can choose a different default unit system. When false, users cannot change the default unit system.
viewerDatasheetButtonEnabled	This option applies to MI Explore only. When true, users can open MI Viewer directly from embedded datasheets. When false, users cannot open MI Viewer directly from embedded datasheets. Note: The default value for this option is false. It will be reset to the default value when Granta MI is upgraded.

Application home page configuration

Defines the One MI home page that users see when the application opens. For information about how you can modify this setting to customize the home pages available to Granta MI users in your organization, refer to One MI application configuration in Granta MI Administration and Configuration.

Users who can export data to Excel

Specifies the Windows Active Directory groups or User Manager Roles whose members are permitted to export data from Granta MI to Excel using MI Export. Local Windows Active Directory group names should not include the local computer dot backslash ( .\ ) prefix here.

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). For example:

myhostname,myhostname.mydomain.com

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

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