Setting New Property Values

 

NOTE: Setting new property values in your web parts using qManagement may take a long time. If it times out, you can increase the time-out value in the Web.Config file by setting the executionTimeout attribute.

 

NOTE: This new time-out value is automatically applied to any web part that is on the same page as qManagement, and has an AJAX operation enabled.

 

TIP: Because it can take a long time, set new property values during off-peak hours. If you want to see which web parts are affected by setting new values, perform a search first. You can search and replace properties in Web Parts only.

To set new property values

1	Open qManagement, and click Replace.

2	Select a web part type.

Click the ... button to open a dialog that allows you to select a single web part type or multiple web part types.

3	Select a web part property.

The web part properties displayed depend on the web part type selected. If you have selected multiple web part types, the common web part properties are displayed.

4	Select a search condition, and enter a property value.

These steps are optional.

5	Enter a new property value.

 

NOTE: Ensure you enter the applicable value you want set to a new value.

For example, if you enter the following:

•	Web Part Type = qListView

•	Web Part Property = Title

•	Search Condition = Contains

•	Property Value = Financial Department Web Part

•	Set Property Value to = Human Resources

•	The new value is Human Resources, not Human Resources Web Part.

 

NOTE: If you enter invalid values in the Web Parts property, that Web Part may become inoperable. If you leave this value blank, the old property value is replaced with a blank value.

Click Go.

 

NOTE: When you set a new property value, it cannot be undone.

The results is displayed in a table showing the following:

•	the total number of results, including the number that have succeeded and/or failed

•	Web Part title

•	Web Part type

•	the path where the Web Part is located

•	an Edit icon which opens ezEdit for the found Web Part. You will not see the ezEdit icon if you do not have proper permissions.

•	a status showing if setting the new property value succeeded or failed. If you see a Failed status, you can click Failed to see an error message of why the action failed.

 

TIP: If you want to print your results, export the results to an Excel spreadsheet first.
