To update or edit the behavior of the widget (such as the Service URL, highlight colors, etc.), follow these steps:
-
Open the virtual directory of the deployed application. For example:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<Widget Virtual Directory>
- Open the configs | OnBase folder.
-
Open the config.json file using a text editor such as Notepad.
CAUTION: Be very careful when updating the JSON configuration files. If a copy exists with a similar naming scheme (for example, appsettings.backup.json), and that copy is not deleted, the incorrect JSON configuration file may be used. Configuration files are read in lexicographic order, or the order in which they are loaded. This means that the last file saved is the first file loaded. The order of precedence for the loading of the configuration sources is: 1) appsettings.json file, 2) appsettings.{AltName}.json file, 3) Key-per-file directories, 4) Environment variables, and 5) Command Line arguments. As a result, if a JSON configuration file is configured with an alternate name, and is the most recently saved version of the JSON configuration file, the file with the alternate name will take precedence, which causes major errors during login.
- Edit the config.json file as needed. See Modifying the Web AppBuilder Widget config.json File for more information on the available settings.
- Save and close the config.json file.
