Enable Record View - SuperWEB2

The Record View feature allows users to access information about the unit record data that makes up the values in the table.

This feature is disabled by default. You can enable the feature on a per user basis if necessary.

To enable Record View:

1. Use the cat command in SuperADMIN to assign the Record View user permission to each user you want to be able to access Record View.
2. Open the web.xml SuperWEB2 configuration file in a text editor. This file is located at <tomcat_home>\webapps\webapi\WEB-INF\web.xml
   
   

   Make a backup copy of this file before making any changes.

3. Locate the following section:

   XML

   <context-param>
       <description>Record view feature can be turned on[true]| off[false]</description>
       <param-name>recordview</param-name>
       <param-value>false</param-value>
   </context-param>

4. Change false to true:

   XML

   <context-param>
       <description>Record view feature can be turned on[true]| off[false]</description>
       <param-name>recordview</param-name>
       <param-value>true</param-value>
   </context-param>

5. Save web.xml.
6. Restart Tomcat (or the SuperWEB2 Service).
7. Login to SuperWEB2 as a user with Record View permission and verify that the RecordVIEW button appears:
   

   

Optional: Configure the Download Limit

By default, users can download up to 100,000 cells using the Record View feature. You can change this limit if necessary.

To change the limit, open web-api.properties in a text editor. This file is located at <tomcat_home>\webapps\webapi\WEB-INF\web-api.properties

Make a backup copy of this file before making any changes.

1. Locate the following line:

   CODE

   maxcells=100000

2. Change the value to the maximum number of cells you want to allow users to download. For example:

   CODE

   maxcells=1000

3. Save your changes.
4. Restart Tomcat (or the SuperWEB2 Service).

This limit is configured as a maximum number of cells, but it is applied as a limit on the number of rows. The row limit is calculated at runtime based on the cell limit and the number of fields selected.
