By default, the appearance and behavior of the Meridian Explorer client application are acceptable for most users but you can configure numerous options to further optimize their experience.
You cannot configure default sorting options or hide columns for users in Explorer. Files are sorted alphabetically according to the file name.
To configure the application options:
-
In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the Repositories group, click Options.
The User Defaults Options page appears.
-
In the menu, click Application.
The list of configurable options appears.
-
Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
-
Click Save.
| Group | Option | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Application Options |
Enable Meridian download control |
Enable (default) this option to use the Accruent Upload/Download control for file transfers. |
| Application Options |

If enabled (default), the Draft Print command is available to users in the viewer pane if:
|
| Application Options |
Enable watermarks on draft print hardcopies |
If enabled and watermarks are configured in the source vault, they will also be printed on the output. The default is disabled. For information about configuring the appearance of watermarks, see Configure Watermark Printing. |
| Application Options |
Hide status columns from grid |
If enabled, hides the column that show document status icons. The default is disabled. If enabled, this will disable display of the number of available rows in the current view and the workflow status column in the results grid is hidden from view by users. |
| Application Options |

| Meridian Script Events |
Use Meridian impersonation |
If enabled (default), the account of the IIS application pool under which the application runs will be used to connect to Meridian Enterprise for features like discussion comments, redlining, retrieving watermark data, uploading documents to the vault, and VBScript events. This prevents the Kerberos double hop problem. The application pool and the Meridian Enterprise server must run under the same service account. If disabled, the connection to Meridian Enterprise impersonates the Meridian Explorer user. The application pool and the Meridian Enterprise server do not need to run under the same service account. The Kerberos double hop problem can occur if the Meridian Enterprise server is run on a different computer than Meridian Enterprise Server. |
| System Settings |
URL for viewer download |
If the Enable Accruent viewer control option is enabled as described in Configure the Viewer Options and you want Meridian Explorer users to download the control from a location on your network, type a URL where the control can be downloaded by users. This URL will appear in an empty viewer windows until the user installs the control. By default, a URL to the viewer control on the Accruent website will be shown. |
| Synchronization |
Synchronization |
By default, synchronization between Meridian Explorer repositories and their Meridian Enterprise source vaults, is done in batches of documents. This excludes the document content, which must be done as a separate task. To edit the synchronization settings:
