Console preferences settings

Use the Console Preferences page to specify how we want features of the administrative console workspace to behave.

To view this administrative console page, click System administration > Console preferences.


Turn on workspace automatic refresh

Whether we want the administrative console workspace to refresh automatically after the administrative configuration changes.

The default is for the workspace to refresh automatically. If we delete a WebSphere variable, for example, the WebSphere variables page refreshes automatically and shows the updated list of WebSphere variables in the WebSphere variables collection.

An example follows with workspace automatic refresh turned on and two users logged in to the console at the same time. If the first user deletes a mail provider from the collection without saving his changes, the second user does not see the changes. The first user must save the changes. Then the second user must refresh the collection panel on his own console to see the changes. However, if the automatic refresh is not on, then the second user will not see the deletion of the mail provider on the collection panel until after he logs out and logs back in.

Use default scope

Whatever the default is the first time that you view a console panel that has scope settings, that is the default for the panel on subsequent visits that we make to the panel. The default for the panel does not change even if you modify the Use default scope setting.
