Web Performance

Field

Function

Enable Column Resize for grid pages with less than this number of rows

Reduces strain on the system by preventing users from resizing grid columns when more than the designated number of records appear in the grid. (Allowing a grid to show more records increases load time and resize time. )

Exclude Desktop Records in Add Mode (When TRUE, queries will be slower)

When enabled, Lucity Web runs special queries so that grids do not display records that are in the process of being added to Lucity Desktop. When disabled, such records appear in Web grids as blank records. Disabling this option improves performance.

Favor configuration over performance for business rules

When an administrator changes field properties in the Desktop (such as masking fields, requiring fields, or making fields editable), the administrator must reset IIS to push the changes to Lucity Web. Enabling this setting allows an admin to push these changes to Lucity Web by simply clearing the web cache. Note, however, that this process may cause a [temporary, but] significant drop (15-20%) in performance.

Persist changes to page size in ListView

Allows users to save their current page size as a personal customization. This setting does not apply to the WebCitizen system.

The number of minutes until a dashboard report should be refreshed

Establishes the number of minutes between Dashboard report refreshes. (Default value = 240 minutes)

Reports that appear on the dashboard are not updated every time the user refreshes the dashboard. Once a report file is generated the dashboard will continue to show the same file every time the dashboard is refreshed until the file is older than the number of minutes set in this setting. Once the time limit is reached the report file will be re-generated with new data. This limitation saves 5 to 10 seconds of response time.

Note: Users can always use the option located below the Dashboard PDF reports to immediately refresh a report on demand.
