This functionality was modified in an update. For more information, see Learn more about defining the general settings (modified in an update).

The Define General Settings page allows you to add and update application-level settings.

  1. Log on to SmartPlant Dashboard.

  2. Click Data Capture Administration to open the Data Capture Administration module.

  3. Click Central Settings to view the Define General Settings page. You can customize any of the following settings as per your requirement:

    • In the Ignored Files Path box, type a file path that will contain the ignored files.

    • Type a numeric value that represents the period of time, in seconds, up to which the application will wait for a response from SmartPlant Markup.

    • Select the Auto Generate Thumbnails check box to allow thumbnail generation for each file during the document discovery task.

      You can clear the Auto Generate Thumbnails check box to avoid the generation of thumbnails during the document discovery task. Thumbnail generation takes considerably more time to complete the document discovery task.

    • Select the Auto Resolve Duplicates check box to allow the software to resolve the duplicate document conflicts.

      When this Auto Resolve Duplicates check box is selected, if a new file is found in the document discovery task having modified date falling after the modified date of the master file or the candidate file attached to the document, the software attaches the new file to the latest version of the document, instead of creating a duplicate document.

    • Select the Auto Generate PDF check box to allow generation of .pdf files for each file during the document discovery task.

      • All .pdf files generated by the Document Discovery Task are in the PreProcessedAlternateRenditions folder. This folder is in the same location as the native files before the Document Discovery Task. All generated .pdf files are available in the database.

      • You can provide .pdf files present in the PreProcessedAlternateRenditions folder as an input to the PDF reader preprocessor module for generating the corresponding content files.

    • Select the Use SmartConverter for content extraction from drawing files check box to extract tags from drawing files using the SmartConverter and SPFHotSpotter.ini file.

      To extract tags from drawing files using the SmartSketch, clear this check box and configure the SmartConverter with the following settings:

      • In My Computer > Properties, select the Allow check box for the following items to grant security permissions to the local service account:

        • Remote Launch

        • Remote Activation

      For more information on how to configure the SmartConverter, see Configuring the SmartConverter for Graphical Navigation.

    • Select the Enable case insensitivity when comparing data for inconsistencies checkbox to ignore case sensitivity, when checking for inconsistencies present in property values of a selected tag available in different domains.

      This option can be set when generating inconsistency results using the following options:

      • In the Data Capture Tags module > Master Tags page. For more information, see View inconsistencies in master tag properties.

      • In the SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client, search for a Data Capture Inconsistency report, right-click on it and select Run Report to generate the report.

    • Click Save.
