Specifying Your Preferences :: SAS(R) Task Manager 2.2: User's Guide

Specifying Global Preferences

You can specify global preferences to apply to all SAS web applications that are displayed with the Adobe Flash player. These preferences are set by each user.

To specify global preferences:

Select FilePreferences to open the Preferences window.

Global Preferences
Click Global Preferences in the left pane.
Select the User locale drop-down menu to specify your language and geographic region.

Select the Theme drop-down menu to change the color scheme and other visual settings for all of your SAS web applications.

Select the Invert application colors check box to invert all of the colors in your SAS web applications.

Select the Override settings for focus indicator check box to change the color, thickness, and opacity of the focus in your SAS web applications.
Click OK to apply your changes.
Click Reset to Defaults to restore default settings.

Note: If you changed the User locale, then you must log off and log back on to SAS Task Manager for the change to take effect.

Specifying SAS Task Manager Preferences

To specify SAS Task Manager preferences:

Select FilePreferences to open the Preferences window.
Click Task Manager in the left pane.

SAS Task Manager Preferences
Select the Show workflow and activity IDs check box to enable the display of workflow and activity IDs.

For every workflow task that has been started, you have the option to show or hide the Activity ID and Workflow ID values that are unique to every task. Having access to these identifiers is useful when referencing logs.
Select the Show hidden data objects check box to enable the display of hidden data objects.

Data objects are typically hidden in a workflow template. The HIDE option on data objects can be overridden globally by selecting the Show hidden data objects check box. This setting is useful for data stewards who want to validate the functioning of workflows.

Note: This option is controlled by a View All Hidden Data Objects capability set within the Task Manager: Task Administration role. If users are not members of a group that has been assigned this role or have not had this role explicitly assigned to them, they do not see this option in the SAS Task Manager preferences. This allows administrators to control the use of the Show hidden data objects feature if sensitive information is stored in workflow data objects.
Select a value in the Maximum Number of Tasks to Display field to change the number of workflows that are to be returned to the user in Task Manager. This control allows users to limit the number of workflows shown in the web application for cases where thousands of workflows have been initiated on the server. The default value is 500.
Click OK to apply your changes.
Click Reset to Defaults to restore default settings.

Specifying SAS Data Management Console Preferences

To specify SAS Data Management Console preferences:

Select FilePreferences to open the Preferences window.
Click Data Management Console in the left pane.

SAS Data Management Console Preferences
Specify the location of portlet panes that appear on SAS Data Management Console.
Click OK to apply your changes.
