Registry

It is possible to store a configuration or setting, like a System Variable, with no length limitations and transport it without exporting/importing a solution (no need to deploy). Also, the Registry can be exported by DEXT (DefaultConfig BO). 

After the export/import process, the Default Config must be synchronized with the new registries by clicking the Synchronize with Default Config button.

Steps

1. On the top right, navigate to 

   

    → <<your solution>>
2. On the left, navigate to 

   

    → Setup
3. Navigate to Lists → Registry (1).
4. Click on the green plus button (

   

   ) to Add a New Item (2).
   

   

5. Select a Category from the drop-down list. In our example, DATE_FORMAT. If you don't see a recently added Category, click the Publish config (

   

   ) button.
   NOTE: This Category must be previously defined in Registry Categories.
6. Add a Name of the Registry variable.
7. Assign a Value of the Registry variable.
8. If needed, store a Big Value of the Registry, i.e., more than NVARCHAR255.
9. Insert a brief Description of the Registry.
10. Select Public if the Registry will be exported in the dcm-config.js file.
11. Select Save big value to DCM Config if the big value of the Registry will be exported in the dcm-config.js file.
12. Select Exportable if the Registry is ready (tested) to export into other Solution. When the Exportable is selected, it enables the Set As Default and Reset To Default buttons.
    The Registry data will be duplicated into Default Config data.
    

    

13. If the Exportable option was selected, select the Default Config tab and insert a (default) value.
    

    

14. Save the Registry. After any saving, it will be added to the Queue Item to export the Registry to the dcm-config.js file.

15. Click the Synchronize with Default Config button to run the process to update (or insert) the Config data by Default Config data.
