Each configuration item is thoroughly described in the empower® Admin Center and its effects are explained, which is why this manual does not contain a detailed explanation of each configuration item.

Important

The empower® Admin Center displays all software configuration items and does not filter the configuration items according to the empower® Components you are using in your company.

The empower® Admin Center splits the available software configuration items according to empower® Office add-ins and their corresponding empower® Components. A number in brackets indicates how many configuration items each section contains.

For further information regarding the sections, see Access to the empower® Admin Center.

Note

If you have questions regarding any of the configuration items, contact your Onboarding Specialist or Customer Success Manager.

In total, four different controls are available to edit all configuration items:

  • Toggle button On

  • Toggle button Off

  • Input field (no character limitation, insert the desired value)
Web_AC_Input_Field.png

  • Slider (set the desired value per Drag & Drop)

  • Drop-down menu (choose the desired item)

In some cases, either the keyword True or False must be inserted in the input field. The description of the configuration item will explain the effects of each value.

All values to be set as decimal numbers can either be entered using a period or comma as decimal separator.

To quickly find the configuration item you want to change, use the search bar in the top right corner next to the page title (Figure 13, “Search Bar”). To execute a search, enter your search word in the search bar and press Enter.

For further information regarding the sections for configuration items, see Access to the empower® Admin Center.

If no configuration items have been changed since opening the empower® Admin Center, the button Save and Cancel are grayed out (Figure 15, “Button Save and Cancel (Grayed Out)”).

Once you have changed one configuration item, the buttons will no longer be grayed out (Figure 16, “Button Save and Cancel”). To confirm or disregard your changes, use the buttons.

Any changes that you perform on configuration items will be available for all users and are synchronized as follows:

  • Backend-wise – the changes directly apply.

  • Client-wise – the changes apply once the empower® Sync is running again as per synchronization interval.

Important

Changes made and saved in this section will be synchronized with the section Customizing. The view in the section Customizing will be updated accordingly. If both sections are open simultaneously in your browser, reload the page to see your changes.

Adjust Synchronization Interval

The synchronization interval defines how often the clients synchronize. During a synchronization all data that has been changed or added is synchronized.

The synchronization interval is set via the setting Synchronization Interval under empower Sync.

The interval is defined in seconds.

Figure 17. Setting Synchronization Interval

Setting Synchronization Interval

Note

If you change the synchronization interval, the newly defined interval only applies after the synchronization has run one last time as per the formerly defined interval.

Example

Synchronization interval is set to twelve hours.

Synchronization interval is changed to four hours.

Next time, synchronization will be running after twelve hours again.

Newly defined interval applies.

Next time synchronization will be running after four hours.

Important

Changing the synchronization interval may cause additional load and cause decreased performance.

If you have any doubts, contact empower® Support.

Archive Outlook Signatures

If empower® for Outlook is in use, you might want to ensure that employees only use signatures that have been created with empower®.

To do so, you can decide if signatures that have not been created with empower® are archived on Outlook startup.

The signature deletion can be enabled via the setting Delete Untracked Signatures on Startup under empower Mails.

If you want to archive all signatures that have not been created with empower®, switch the toggle button to On.

If you want to keep the Outlook signatures, switch the toggle button to Off.

Figure 18. Setting Delete Untracked Signatures on Startup

Setting Delete Untracked Signatures on Startup

Before being deleted, the signatures are stored in a .zip file and saved as a backup.

This .zip file is stored under the following path:

%appdata%\Microsoft\Signatures\Archives

Users can restore the deleted signatures from this file.
