General

New document order

Specifies the default order used when inserting new documents. Possible values are:

•First - new documents are added to the first position on the given level of the content tree.

•Last - documents are added to the end of the given content tree level.

•Alphabetical - documents are inserted to the appropriate alphabetical position based on their name.

Prompt to save changes on exit

If enabled, users are notified when leaving a modified page in editing mode with unsaved changes.

Allow global categories

Indicates if the use of global categories, i.e. categories shared across all websites in the system, should be enabled for the website selected in the Site drop-down list (or for all websites that inherit the setting if (global) is selected in the drop-down list).

Use live URL for editing modes

If enabled, the live URL and view are used for documents in editing mode (i.e. when working with documents on the Page tab of CMS Desk). Only enable this setting when using the MVC development model.

This is not necessary if your documents are based on MVC type page templates, which automatically use the MVC view in editing mode.

Enable wireframing

Allows users to create and edit wireframe schematics in the CMS Desk -> Content interface. Wireframes provide a way to easily plan out the structure, design and functionality of the website's documents directly in the content tree.

The system displays all existing wireframes even if this setting is disabled. However, users cannot make any modifications or create new wireframes.

On-site editing

Enable On-site editing

Indicates whether the website's pages should be editable through a special interface directly on the live site. On-site editing allows authorized users to make changes to page content, manage documents and even configure the properties of web parts.

Enable On-site editing button

When enabled along with on-site editing, the Edit page button is displayed in the corner of pages on the live site for users who are authorized as editors. Clicking the button opens the on‑site editing interface.

If you do not wish to use this button, users can alternatively access on-site editing mode through links provided by the Edit document link or Admin actions web part, or by manually going to the following URL: http://<domain>/<virtual directory>/cmsedit

Mobile development

Enable device profiles

Enable this setting if you want to use device profiles on the website. Device profiles allow you to customize the layout and content of pages for specific devices. The system automatically assigns a device profile to each visitor according to the parameters of the device they use to view the page.

You can define device profiles in Site Manager -> Development -> Device profiles.

Enable layout mapping

If enabled, pages with shared page layouts automatically use replacement layouts according to the layout mappings set for individual device profiles.

To configure the layout mappings of a device profile, edit it in Site Manager -> Development -> Device profiles and open the Layout mapping tab.

Resize images according to device profile

If enabled, the system automatically resizes images to match device profiles. This reduces the maximum side size of images to the larger of the dimensions set for the used device profile (Preview width or Preview height).

Note: The resizing only works for images loaded through one of the Kentico CMS system pages (getattachment, getmetafile, getmedia, etc.). The feature cannot resize images that use web links or direct paths in their source.

You can disable the resizing for individual images by adding the resizemode=1 parameter to the image source URL.

Content management UI

Check document permissions

If enabled, only documents for which the current user has the Read permission are displayed in the content tree (in CMS Desk -> Content, in document listings and in various dialogs where the content tree is displayed).

In case that a user doesn't have the Read permissions for any document at all, a message is displayed instead of the content tree, saying that they are not authorized to modify any document. If a user has the Read permission for a child document but not for its parent, the child document is not displayed as well.

Max tree nodes

The maximum number of documents that will be displayed under an unfolded document in the tree view. If the number of documents exceeds the maximum number, a link that takes you to the document list is displayed after the allowed number of records.

Display linked icon

Indicates if the icon should be displayed in the content tree next to linked documents. Additional information about status icons can be found in Developer's Guide -> Content management -> Editing content -> Document status icons.

Display not translated icon

Indicates if the icon should be displayed in the content tree next to documents that are not translated in the current culture.

Display redirected icon

Indicates if the icon should be displayed in the content tree next to documents that have some redirection configured in Properties -> Navigation -> URL redirection.

Display published icon

Indicates if the icon should be displayed in the content tree next to documents that are currently published. By enabling this option, the and icons are also enabled.

Display version not published icon

Indicates if the icon should be displayed in the content tree next to documents that already have a published version, but whose latest version is not published yet. By enabling this option, the icon is also enabled.

Display not published icon

Indicates if the icon should be displayed in the content tree next to documents that have not yet been published (and also have no previously published version). By enabling this option, the icon is also enabled.

Display archived icon

Indicates if the icon should be displayed in the content tree next to documents that are archived.

Display checked out icon

Indicates if the icon should be displayed in the content tree next do documents that are checked out.

Display wireframe icon

Indicates if the icon should be displayed in the content tree next to documents that contain a wireframe definition. It is not added to dedicated wireframing documents of the CMS.Wireframe type, which users can already identify by their main document type icon.

Workflow

Send workflow e-mails

Indicates if the workflow e-mail notification should be sent.

Send workflow e-mails from

E-mail address of the workflow e-mails sender. You can also use the Someone<some@something.com> format.

Use automatic version numbering

If you use workflow without content locking, automatic version numbering will be used by default.

Use check-in/check-out

Indicates if content locking (check-in/check-out) should be used with document types that use versioning. Content locking allows content editors to lock the document for editing so that the other editors cannot modify the document at the same time.

Version history length

Specifies maximum number of versions in the document history. If the number of versions exceeds the specified maximum number, the older versions are destroyed.

Allow permanent preview links

Indicates if document preview links remain usable even if document workflow cycle is restarted (when documents in Published/Archived workflow step are switched to the Edit step). If disabled, new preview links are generated in this situation and the original ones are no longer usable.
