Configuration parameters

Site and space admins can set configuration parameters that determine how ValueEdge works.

Overview

Configuration parameters can be set to control the behavior of different areas in ValueEdge.

Space administrators can access the space-level parameters at Settings > Spaces > Parameters.

Tip: Admins can also set configuration parameters using the REST API. For details, see Setting configuration parameters with the REST API.

Changes to parameters are audited. You can retrieve the audit information via the REST API. For details, see Auditing entities (technical preview).

Parameters

ValueEdge includes the following configuration parameters:

Parameter Description
ALLOWED_EXTERNAL_EMAIL_DOMAINS

Allows admins to add external email addresses to the Send to list in a Send email business rule. Enter multiple domains as a comma-separated list without spaces. To allow any external domain, enter an asterisk, *. For details, see Rule actions.

Example: gmail.com,yahoo.com

Type: string

ATTACHMENTS_BULK_CREATE_MAX_SIZE

When creating attachments in bulk, this number defines the maximum size of the request.

Type: integer

Default: 100

ATTACHMENTS_BULK_MAX_FILE_SIZE

When creating attachments in bulk, this number defines the maximum file size of attachments in the request.

Type: integer

Default: 100

ATTACHMENTS_FILE_EXTENSION_WHITE_LIST

Defines a list of the permitted file-type extensions for ValueEdge attachments.

To permit all attachments, regardless of file extension, enter an * (asterisk). For security purposes, this is not recommended.

Separate each extension with a semi-colon (;).

You cannot add extensions that are prohibited, as specified in the ATTACHMENTS_FILE_EXTENSION_BLACK_LIST configuration parameter.

Note: You can also add additional, custom file extensions to the list of permitted extensions for ValueEdge attachments. The file types (mime types) must be one of ValueEdge's supported mime types, but you can choose any extension you like. For details, see the EXTENSION_TO_MIME_TYPE and the VALIDATE_MIME_TYPE_MATCH_TO_EXTENSION configuration parameters.

Type: string

Default: ngalink; links; jpg; bmp; png; pdf; word; doc; docx; msg; xml; xls; xlsx; ppt; pptx; zip; txt; wmv; mp4; m4p; mkv; vob; log; wrf; fbr; jpeg

ATTACHMENTS_PREVIEW_FILE_EXTENSIONS

Defines the file-type extensions that can be previewed in ValueEdge.

The file types listed in this parameter are previewed in a protected mode. For example, any malicious scripts are blocked in the preview.

To allow the unprotected preview of the files, also list the file extensions in the ATTACHMENTS_PREVIEW_LOW_SECURITY_FILE_EXTENSIONS parameter.

To allow previewing Microsoft Office files, or other files for which browsers do not have embedded previews:

  • Add Office or other file extensions to this parameter.
  • Ensure that the file types are also listed in the ATTACHMENTS_FILE_EXTENSION_WHITE_LIST parameter.

Note:

  • To preview Office files, or other files for which browsers do not have embedded previews, every user should install a third-party browser extension. If the extension is not installed, the file preview does not open. Instead, when the user tries to preview the file, the file is automatically downloaded.

  • Before installing any browser extension, ensure that the extension is safe and does not violate your company security policy.
  • The default file types can be previewed without installing any browser extensions.

Separate each extension with a semi-colon (;).

Type: string

Default: pdf;txt;log;html

ATTACHMENTS_PREVIEW_LOW_SECURITY_FILE_EXTENSIONS

Defines the file-type extensions that can be previewed in ValueEdge without any security protection. Malicious scripts could also run in the preview.
