User Preference and System Cookies
This section lists the user preference cookies used by the system. The table below shows the cookie name, a brief description, what page the cookie is set/created/controlled on and what page(s) use the cookie value.| Cookie Name | Description |
|---|---|
| GraphicType |
Controls the type of chart or map graphic image HTML page the system
will build for the Indicator Profile view, PHOM view, and Query result
pages. This value is set to "SVG" or "JPEG" and defaults to "JPEG" if
the cookie is not present. The controllers read the cookie value and
set the value as a parameter that is passed to the XSLT that creates
the appropriate HTML image elements for the HTML page.
Used On: indicator/view/*.html, indicator/complete_profile/*.html phom/view/*.html, phom/expanded_view/*.html query/*/result.html Set On: home/GraphicPreference.html |
| QuerySelectionShowOnEntry |
Controls what to display on entry. "OVERVIEW" = Only display the Overview section for that query module and hide all other sections and steps when first entering the page. "ALL" = Overview, all sections, steps, questions and answers. "FIRST_SECTION" = Only show the first step. Used On: query/module/*/*.html Set On: query/module/*/*.html, query/ModulePreferences.html |
| QuerySelectionShowStep |
Controls how to display the steps/sections questions and answers. "CURRENT_ONLY" = Hide previous step/section and show the new current step/section. "ALL_SELECTED" = Show all questions and answers which have been selected. "ALL_VISITED" = Show all steps/sections questions and answers visited/expanded. Used On: query/module/*/*.html Set On: query/module/*/*.html, query/ModulePreferences.html |
| QuerySelectionAutoAdvanceNextStep |
If the current step's selection is a single selection list or radio
button then setting this cookie value to "AUTO_ADVANCE" will cause
the system to auto open the next step when current radio/single list
selection choice is made.
Used On: query/module/*/*.html Set On: query/module/*/*.html, query/ModulePreferences.html |
| QuerySelectionAutoSubmit |
If this cookie's value is set to "AUTO_SUBMIT" then the system will
set a query module XML element that specifies that the "confirmation"
page will auto submit for the query results. If this cookie is not
set to "AUTO_SUBMIT" then the confirmation XSLT code will build a
page that the user will need to press a submit button on to continue.
Used On: query/module/*/*.html, query/*/confirmation.html (via controller). Set On: query/module/*/*.html, query/ModulePreferences.html |
| QuerySelectionSavePreferences |
If this cookie value is set to "SAVE", then all the query module
type preferences are saved to persistent cookies. This cookie's
value is also saved and used for any subsequent changes which
causes the system to update those changed values. If the item
is not selected (e.g. not set to "SAVE"), the settings will be
in effect for the current session only.
