Configuration parameters

OpenKM is preconfigured with several parameters. However, if you plan to use it in production, you should look at Recommended configuration parameters. To access Configuration parameters, go to Administration > Configuration parameters.

Configuration parameters are shown in a table with three columns:

Property Key Type Value

The property key is the unique identifier for each configuration property.

There are several configuration types:

• String.
• Integer (only numeric values are allowed).
• Boolean (only true or false values are allowed).
• List (each broken line is considered a new list element).
• Text.
• HTML ( HTML tags allowed ).
• File.

To create your parameters, read Creating your own parameters.

Edit a parameter

• Click the edit icon.
• View and modify the value.
• Click the Edit button to confirm the change.

Delete a parameter

Caution

You should not delete parameters if you’re not sure about the implications of this action.

• Click the remove icon .
• In the Delete confirmation view, click the Delete button.

Backup configuration parameters

• Click the Configuration parameters export icon at the top right .
• The browser will download an SQL file with the configuration.

New configuration parameter

• Go to the top-right corner to see the action buttons in the table.
• Click the New configuration parameter button.

Check Configuration

This action will check whether some conflicting parameters are configured correctly (pdf2swf, convert tool, OCR engine, OpenOffice, or LibreOffice paths).

Caution

Although a parameter may pass this check, that does not mean it is 100% correct. Please take it as a light check that cannot cover all cases but is an excellent approximation to discard most problems.

• Click the Check icon at the top right .
• It will show the Configuration check view. If any parameters are misconfigured or incorrect, they will be shown in red.

Multitenant configuration

Note

In OpenKM 7.1, the multitenant mode is enabled by default.

• Click the top menu   Configuration button, and then click the submenu Tenant Configuration link.
• In tenant configuration, you can create your configuration parameters. These will take precedence over the default values. For example, you can have a different application.url value for each tenant.
