Selecting Site Engine - General in the left panel of the Options tab provides the following view, where you can customize ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine preferences. These settings apply to the user currently logged-in.
Changing a value from the system default causes a Default Value button to appear. Selecting this button changes the field back to the system default value.
Data Display
- Auto Group Delimiter
- ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine uses this character to separate the values that define a device's Contact and Location grouping in
the left-panel device tree. Sub-groups in the Grouped By >
Contact and Grouped By > Location folders
are automatically created based on the Contact and Location values in the Console Properties
Tab (Device). Use this option to define the delimiter that is used to separate those
values into groups. For example, using the default delimiter (/), a device's location
defined as NewHampshire/Salem/Closet3 will automatically create a hierarchy of three sub-groups
under the Grouped By > Location
folder.
After changing the Auto Group Delimiter, you must restart the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine server.
