Setting Defaults
The MGC Web Server Manager application and MGC Manager – Database Manager application enable users to customize their system to their needs by defining default values for reservations, participants and general system parameters. The default sets may be stored in a centralized database or in a local database.
When the WebCommander user defines a new conference (reservation, On Going or a template) or a new participant, each parameters displays the default value taken from the active Defaults set. It minimizes the need to define all the parameters and it allows users to modify specific parameters, as needed.
Default sets may be defined for the following categories:
•Conference Defaults – A list of all the conference parameters.
•Participant Defaults – A list of all the participant parameters.
•MGC Manager Defaults – General system parameters that apply only to the MGC Manager. These parameters can also be defined in the MGC Web Server if the same database is used by both applications.
•User Defined Fields – These parameters are used to define whether to show the User Defined fields in the conference and participant properties and the titles of these fields to be loaded in the MGC Manager application.
The MGC Web Server Manager includes five default templates which are stored in the Default Group. These templates are in addition to the Reservation Defaults and enables end users to further automate the conference scheduling process. For more details, see Chapter 5, “Defining Groups” on page
