Globally defined eFORMz configuration options

Note: For a list of files and folders in the eFORMz install, consult the following: eFORMz default files and folders

Server defined eFORMz configuration options are detailed below. The loading/processing of these various files is also described in the following outline.

  • eFORMzCfg*.xml
    • Files only load if this configuration file is present.
    • The file eFORMzCfg.xml must exist and cannot (should not) be edited as it is part of the version distribution. The user instance can be edited: eFORMzCfg_User.xml.
    • Everything is relative to the main eFORMz directory.
    • The files may contain any number of “file” references for other configuration files.
    • Configuration files are loaded the first time they are referenced.
    • Conflicting definitions overwrite previous definitions.
    • The order of auto-loading is as follows:
      1. The first file to load is eFORMzCfg.xml.
      2. The next file to load (if present) is eFORMzCfg_User.xml
      3. The third place to auto-load is any files matching settings/eFORMz*.xml.
    • Sample file reference: <File Name="Preview/eFORMzCfg_Preview.xml"/>
  • FontSpecs*.xml
    • Only two instances can exist: FontSpecs.xml and the user-editable version, FontSpecs_User.xml.
