The Settings screen is accessible from the Left Navigation Panel. In this area are the options to change the display and functionality in the application. Settings are grouped by category and you can switch between different categories by selecting them from the tabs on the left side.
The General tab of the Settings screen allows you to change the following properties:
Language
ProjectWise Edge is localized to several languages. By default, the language is set to the same language as your Operating System. If that language is not available, the application defaults to English. You can set the language manually but you need to restart the application for the change to take effect.
Check for Updates
Select the Check for Updates button to find if a new version of ProjectWise Edge is available for download.
Hide Sample Repositories
Turn on this toggle button to hide sample repositories from the Repositories page.
Clear Caches
Select the Clear Caches button to remove information about your repositories that is stored locally on your device.
The Proxy tab of the Settings screen allows you to configure proxy settings to access content outside your company securely.
You can choose one of the following:
- Disabled: When you select this, ProjectWise Edge will not use a proxy.
- Use System Proxy: When you select this, ProjectWise Edge will connect to the System Proxy for your device.
- Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) URL: When you select this, you can enter a URL in the text field which ProjectWise Edge will use to connect to the proxy you specify.
- Manual Proxy: Selecting this allows you to specify a Server and Port which ProjectWise Edge will use to connect to the proxy you want. By default the Port field is set to 8080.
When you configure Proxy Settings, you can also turn on Credentials by selecting the Credentials checkbox. This allows you to enter a Username and Password for the proxy configuration. Note: You cannot turn on Credentials if you have selected the Disabled option.
Once you have configured the proxy settings, you can select the Test Settings button to test the connection to the proxy. If ProjectWise Edge is able to connect using the proxy information you specified, a dialog box displays with the message, "Connection Successful!" If ProjectWise Edge cannot connect to the proxy you specified, the dialog box displays the message, "Could not resolve proxy server. Please check proxy configuration."
The Forms tab and the Issues tab of the Settings screen contain configurations for accessing Forms and Issues content.
Both tabs display the Filter Downloads dropdown where you can choose which forms or issues to download. There are three available options:
- All: All issues or forms for your project will be downloaded. This is the default option.
- All Open: Only the issues or forms in your project that are open will be downloaded.
- All Assigned To Me: Only the issues or forms in your project that have been assigned to you will be downloaded.
The Forms tab displays the Hide Closed Forms toggle button, and the Issues tab displays the Hide Closed Issues toggle button. When you select this toggle button, forms or issues that have been closed are hidden from the forms or issues screen.
From the Feedback tab of the Settings screen, you can send any feedback to Bentley about ProjectWise Edge.
Select the Get Log Files button to open the folder where application logs are stored locally on your device.
To clear all the ProjectWise Edge application logs stored locally on your device, select the Delete Log Files button and a dialog box displays with the message "All log files have been deleted."
You can Start detailed logging for a period of 24 hours by selecting the toggle button.
By default the Send usage data toggle button is turned on, which sends ProjectWise Edge usage data back to Bentley to help improve the product. If you would like to turn this off, you can select the toggle button.
