Accessing System Settings (User Settings)

Overview

Decisions Portal settings can be customized using a settings object. These settings can be set by Portal users by navigating to System > Settings.

What is a settings object?

A settings object is a collection of values that a portal user can edit and which can be used by code. Many times these settings are used to store things like connection information and credentials to external system so that step which interact with those systems can fetch their connection settings from a central place. 

Accessing and Configuring Settings Via Code

The settings found in the portal can be accessed via code using ModuleSettingsAccessor. To access Portal Settings, use ModuleSettingsAccessor.GetSettings();

Example

The following example will demonstrate how to access and modify the Portals Slogan Text.

1. In a C# project in any desired IDE, add PortalSettings portalSettings = ModuleSettingsAccessor .GetSettings(); 
2. Add portalSettings.SloganText and modify the setting.
3. Use .SaveSettings() to save values of each modified setting off the ModuleSettingsAccessor.

Below is an example of how to set and save the Slogan Text:

PortalSettings portalSettings = ModuleSettingsAccessor.GetSettings();
 portalSettings.SloganText = "Our Company Slogan";
ModuleSettingsAccessor<portalsettings>.SaveSettings();
