Introduction
Selecting 'Application Settings' under 'Tools' in the upper menu, the administrator can set the general settings, generate report previews, password requirements and set account for statistics.
General
Default Application Home Page
Default Application Home determines the report to appear in the Home Page when users log in CXO. The Home Page report will be visible to all users, independently from their permissions.
A custom Home Page can be set for specific users through the Reports Tab in the popup to create or edit users and users groups. Only users with Report Admin permission can set the Default Application Home Page.
Both the Default Application Home Page and Custom Home Pages appear in the Open Report Panel under 'Home' group in Reports by Menu Tab.
Point of View
Point of View depth, with this setting you can influence the depth of the dimension hierarchies as they appear in the Point of View bar of the reports Increasing this number may affect the performance of CXO.
Automatic preview: By turning off this setting a report will not update automatically. This allows you to configure all POV members and press on refresh when you are done. This setting is specifically helpful when using slower sources.
Variance
Variance can be used to set a default for the variances which can be overwritten per report.
If the absolute value of the variance exceeds the Maximum Variance then you can decide to either show nothing or replace the variance by a fixed value. This value can be specified in the MaximumVarianceDisplay parameter. The format of this parameter is <{0}%;>{0}%
- The part at the left of the ';' is used as a replacement for variances less than the negative value of the Maximum Variance
- The part at the right of the ';' is used as a replacement for variances greater than the positive value of the Maximum Variance
- The {0} will be replaced by the value of the Maximum Variance. For example: if the Maximum Variance is set to 1, then a variance of more than 100 % will be replaced by '>100%'
- You can leave the field also empty: then variances exceeding Maximum Variance will be suppressed
Storyboards
Storyboard settings can be used to make standard settings such as default entity or period.
Other
Show drill button in multi column templates, if set on, massive expand/collapse button will be displayed

Generate Previews for all Reports in the System
Click on 'Generate Reports Previews Now' Button. The system will generate previews for all reports in the system both placed in menu and unpublished.
Configure Preview Settings
Inside the Application Settings panel, it is possible also to configure the preview settings:
- User - The reports will appear in the previews as they appear to the selected user. A demo user can be created for this aim.
- Colour Palette - The colours used in the report will be those of the selected palette. The default option, 'Use Report Palette', allows to use for each report the palette specified in its settings.
The preview settings can be edited in any moment independently from generating previews. The settings will be saved automatically.
Generate Previews for a single Report in the System
This can be done out of the Application Settings panel. The function is available only to the Report Admin.
