System Attributes

Select View ➔ System ➔ System Attributes menu item

A system attribute is a configurable value which can be used to customize the IRIS system. Each attribute has a corresponding type: string, boolean, integer or floating point number.

When a system attribute has been modified from its default value, it will be displayed in bold on the System Attributes form.

Most attribute changes take effect immediately, but some require the IRIS client or server to be restarted.
