The FCS checkout URL, in conjunction with the jobTicket request parameter, serves as the means to download or checkout a file.

To facilitate this requirement, consider utilizing the following system property.

Property	Description	Default Value
tvc.core.fcs.checkoutURL.addObjectId	add ObjectId as a new request parameter in FCS checkout URL	false

By default column selection for 6WTags could be set using the tvc.3ddashboard.defaultTag.preferences system property. Refer Default 6WTags section for more details.

Commencing with this latest release, the user can define the default 6WTag for the column by using the 6WTag column setting as below:

<Setting name="6WTag" value="what" />

2. Structure Browser

2.1. Restricting hidden column for Searching inside a Table/Structure

Users can filter all columns in the table by default. However, if the user wants to exclude hidden columns, a global-level setting needs to be added.

At the global level, apply the following initialization parameter to achieve this behaviour. By Default it’s false.

<init-param>
    <param-name>tvc.structurebrowser.tableSearch.visibleColumnsOnly</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>

Commencing with this latest release, the row restriction feature has been activated for form text fields, granting users the ability to tailor the displayed rows to their individual preferences.

This enhancement empowers users to curate the amount of information visible in the Structure Browser Form, fostering flexibility and guaranteeing a more lucid and user-centric experience.

Upon clicking the 'show more' icon, a tooltip elegantly emerges, unveiling all the available values for the respective form field.

        <Field>
            <Label>Description</Label>
            <MapsTo>description</MapsTo>
            <Required>true</Required>
            <Rows>4</Rows>
        </Field>

The user can restrict form rows globally by applying the following init parameter. The default value is 7.

<init-param>
    <param-name>tvc.structurebrowser.formfield.default.rows.value</param-name>
    <param-value>7</param-value>
</init-param>

3. File Manager

3.1. Use Shell Execute for file open

To open a file in a windowed application, the 'CreateProcess' or 'ShellExecute' function is employed. By default, the 'CreateProcess' method is utilized to launch the file within a windowed application.

In a use case where files need to be opened using shell operation, 'ShellExecute' function needs to be activated with the 'openWithShell' property configured as 'true,' with 'false' being the default setting.

Configure this through an init parameter:

<init-param>
    <param-name>tvc.office.client.openWithShell</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>

Configure this via the "TVCFileManager.xml" configuration file:

<FileManager>
    <Client openWithShell="true"/>
</FileManager>
