How to Configure EdgeManage Settings

Background

The EdgeManage application was written to make it easy for administrators to make configuration changes to the application.

There is a text-based XML file that typically lives at:

This file contains the application's configuration. You can edit it with NotePad, but you’ll need Administrator rights to save the changes (due to the permissions at that folder).

Configuration Options

The following are the application-level settings

• TableName - The name of the favorites table in the database
• Email - The email that appears in the About page
• HomeURL - The URL for the "home" of EdgeManage as it appears in the About page
• DatabasePath - This points to the location of the database
• BackupPath - This is the starting portion of the database path that gets backed up
• HelpURL - This is the URL to the on-line User's Guide
• RoamingState - The location of the JSON sync files
• IconPath - The starting portion of the favorite icon path
• BackupFolder - The folder for use with BackupPath
• TimeOut - The number of milliseconds to wait for a web site to respond (the default is 5 seconds)
• UpdateVersion - The URL to a text file that contains the current version
• SetupURL - The URL to the Microsoft Installer file
• AutoBackupPath - Where to place the backup zip files (uses both absolute paths and "special folder" names)
• MaxVerPages - This controls the amount of memory used by the database during updates. It should be increased if you get an error message describing running out of "Version Store"
• EdgeManifest - The file to get the Edge version number
• TempPath - Temporary locations for creating and restoring backups

The following are the user-level settings. The path to the user.config file is a bit harder to find. So, start looking at the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Emmet_Gray hidden folder for something that looks similar to this:

• FontScale - Change the size of the fonts in the application. The default is 1.0, so 1.2 would make it 20% larger
• Language - Normally, the application would automatically pick the most appropriate language, but you can override this behavior by entering the desired language

Example

So, use Notepad, and find this section of the file:

...and change the parts between the <value> and </value> tags. An example might be to double the value for MaxVerPages:
