Improving the Publication Overview performance of Content Station 9 by restricting the zoom level

Info: This feature requires Enterprise Server 9.1.1 or higher and Content Station version 9.1.1 or higher.

In the Publication Overview Application, the Zoom slider can be used for increasing and decreasing the size of the page thumbnails. The default zoom level ranges from a minimum of 100 pixels to a maximum of 500 pixels.

Depending on the zoom range, one of the following files are used for displaying the pages:

• Between 100 and 255 pixels: small thumbnails
• Between 256 and 500 pixels: large page previews

On some systems, the large page previews can take time to load, resulting in a negative effect on the performance of the Publication Overview application.

To prevent the large page previews from being loaded — and thereby improving the performance — the zoom level can be restricted to the maximum size of the small thumbnails (255 pixels) through the following option:

• File: configserver.php
• Name of option: PublicationOverviewMaxGridViewZoom
• Area: SERVERFEATURES
• Value: 255
• Example:

define ('SERVERFEATURES', serialize(array(	
	new Feature( 'CreatePagePreview' ),
	new Feature( 'CreatePagePDFOnProduce' , '[Press Quality]' ),
	new Feature( 'Messaging' ),
	new Feature( 'Broadcasting' ),
	new Feature( 'EventPort' , 8093 ),
	new Feature( 'CompanyLanguage' , 'enUS'),
	new Feature( 'PublicationOverviewMaxGridViewZoom', 255 ) 
)));
