Abstract

In an embodiment, a method of centrally controlling the settings in a computer system in an eRoom environment, includes: providing an interface page by use of an operations console module; and adjusting settings relating to an eRoom application by setting at least one variable in the interface page. The interface page may be related to look and feel settings, server settings, and/or security settings.

Claims

1. A method of centrally controlling the settings in a computer system in an eRoom environment, including:

providing an interface page by use of an operations console module; and

adjusting settings relating to an eRoom application by setting at least one variable in the interface page.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the interface page relates to look and feel settings.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the interface page relates to server settings.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the interface page relates to security settings.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the action of adjusting the setting comprises:

calling a configuration file for a cascading style sheet (CSS) variable that sets a look and feel setting in an eRoom instance; and

placing the CSS variable in an eRoom native code in an eRoom application to set the look and feel setting.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

calling the configuration file for a CSS variable that sets another look and feel setting in the eRoom instance; and

placing the CSS variable in the eRoom native code in the eRoom application to set the other look and feel setting.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the action of adjusting the setting comprises:

calling a configuration file for a server settings variable that sets settings for a server in an eRoom instance; and

placing the server settings variable in an eRoom native code in an eRoom application to set the settings for the server.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the action of adjusting the setting comprises:

calling a configuration file for a variable that sets settings for security in an eRoom instance; and

placing the variable that sets setting for security in an eRoom native code in an eRoom application to set the security in an eRoom instance.

9. An apparatus for centrally controlling the settings in a computer system in an eRoom environment, the apparatus comprising:

an operations console module configured to provide an interface page and to adjust settings relating to an eRoom application by setting at least one variable in the interface page; and

a processor configured to execute the operations console module.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the interface page relates to look and feel settings.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the interface page relates to server settings.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the interface page relates to security settings.

13. An apparatus for centrally controlling the settings in a computer system in an eRoom environment, the apparatus comprising:

means for providing an interface page by use of an operations console module; and

means for adjusting settings relating to an eRoom application by setting at least one variable in the interface page.

14. An article of manufacture, comprising:

a machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions to;

provide an interface page by use of an operations console module; and

adjust settings relating to an eRoom application by setting at least one variable in the interface page.
