====== Settings ======

In this Page you enter the settings for external resources. The Page has two sub screens:

===== Resources =====

In this area you may specify the settings for the Support DB. On default, **IG.Std** is the selected Support DB. But you may use an own Support DB.

Also, you may enter the settings for the Configuration Server, if requested. On default, **SimpleCom** is the choosen Configurator.

==== Support Database ====
 
Enter the corresponding credentials to connect the Support DB. Please specify the **Server Address** without any http(s) prefix. If the DB server hosting the Support DB is running on the same machine as the IG.Creator, you may enter **localhost** rather than an IP or host name.

==== Configuration Service ====

Select one of the available configurator types:

  * **SimpleCom** - an embedded commercial configurator directly and exclusively operating on the [[ig.creator:assets::commercial|commercial assets]]
  * **XcalibuR Connector** - an XcalibuR configurator, running in Connector mode
  * **XcalibuR Integrator** - an XcalibuR configurator, running in Integrator mode
  * **EAIWS** - an OFML configurator

For any type, except for **SimpleCom**, enter the service URL, without any http(s) prefix. In case **EAIWS** is your configuration server, also specify a Startup file (if needed).

In the case of XcalibuR services, the **Edit Mode** must be activated to access unpublished catalogs.

===== Customization =====

==== Visible Assets/Entity ====

Depending on the specific Project, it may be helpful to hide dialogs for entities, e.g. Assets, that are not in use. This will be stored in the database and can be changed any time later on.

===== Advanced =====

==== Commercial Context ====

You may use a Commercial Context in your data. To enable this, select on of the following Modes:

  - **No Context** - There's no Context is used.
  - **Table** - The Context will be created from the [[ig.creator:assets:context|Context Page]]
  - **Script** - You use a Context from a Script in the [[ig.creator:assets:scripts|Scripts Page]]
  - **Script + Table** - The Context will be created by merging the Context setup in the [[ig.creator:assets:context|Context Page]], with a Script.

In any of these cases, specify a fully-scoped Context Type such **IGX.Basic.Context**. 

If you however select **No Context**, no Context is created and exported.

In the merge mode (Script + Table) the Context you provide in the script must be the Context Type plus an additional **Base**. For example, if you specify **XXX.YYY.Context** then the //generated// Context **XXX.YYY.Context** will be derived from //script-based// Context **XXX.YYY.BaseContext**.

==== Commercial Data ====

The option **Editable** controls if the [[ig.creator:assets:commercial|Commercial Data on Asset Level]] and the Products in page [[ig.creator:products|Products]] are editable, or not.

==== Visualization ====

The visualization back end, used for real-time rendering in the 3D context, e.g. in Configurator, Planner and preview creation, can be chosen here. We recommend to use the ThreeJS back end.
