11.2.1 Common Settings

The common.settings.js file, located at C:\Program Files\Thinfinity\Workspace, defines a global configuration object named thinfinity_common. Its main purpose is to override and extend common settings for all Thinfinity® Workspace connections right before they are initiated.

In simpler terms, this code acts as a general configuration template, applying its values to any connection a user opens. It functions as an overarching configuration layer, allowing an administrator or developer to centrally customize the default experience for all users.

It allows setting default values for parameters like newPage: false, which can be modified for the entire environment. For example, if you change fullScreen: false to fullScreen: true, all connections will attempt to start in full-screen mode by default, without the user having to select it each time.

This configuration modifies the user experience (UI/UX), as most of the options control the appearance and behavior of the user interface.

These definitions are applied partially. This means that if you remove a line from this object (fullScreen: false), the application will simply use its own internal default for that option. Only the settings that are explicitly defined in this object are overridden.
