Mode

Select how you want to view the web interface. If you choose Basic Mode, then only the most common options are shown. This is the best mode for those users who are familiar with LISTSERV, but who are not experts and do not need to use the more advanced features. This is the default. If you choose Expert Mode, then each section of the interface is displayed, similar to Basic Mode, and certain pages may contain advanced options that are not available with Basic Mode. Expert Mode is available for those users who are very familiar with LISTSERV.

Start Page

Select the page that you want to act as your home page when you log in to the web interface. The default is LISTSERV Archives.

Login Cookie Expiration

Select how long you want your login cookie to be valid before it expires. The default is No Expiration, which means that the cookie will not expire until you explicitly log out. This means, for example, that you can close your browser and come back later and you will still be logged in. However, if you are working on a shared computer, for example, it might make sense to set the login cookie to expire for added security. After a time of inactivity, the cookie will no longer be valid and you will need to log in again to continue. Note that changing your cookie expiration setting does not change your existing login cookie. In order for the new login cookie setting to take effect, you need to log out and log in again.

Cache Pages

Select whether you want recently visited pages of the web interface to be cached in your browser. The default is Yes. Set this value to No if you want additional security, especially if you are working on a shared computer. Please note that without caching you will not be able to use the "Back" button in your browser to quickly return to past pages.

License Expiration Alert

Select the number of days before your LISTSERV license expires that you want to be alerted on the Server Administration Dashboard. The default is 45 days.

Support Expiration Alert

Select the number of days before your support agreement expires that you want to be alerted on the Server Administration Dashboard. The default is 45 days.

Dashboard Changelogs

Select whether you want any changelog data on the List Owner Dashboard to be loaded automatically every time you access the page or only after a prompt. Loading the changelog data automatically can make the page slower to load, especially if you have many lists or if they have large log files. The default is After Prompt Only.

Archive Style

Select whether you want to view the message archives like a sortable email inbox (Classic View) or organized like a message forum where the most recent thread is always shown first, followed by all responses to that thread in chronological order (Forum View).

Lists per Page

Enter the number of lists you want to display per page on the archive index page. The default is 50.

Hovering Previews

Select whether you want hovering preview windows containing list descriptions and message abstracts to be displayed in the archives when you move your mouse pointer over the list name or message. The default is Shown.

Latest Messages

Select whether you want the latest messages to be shown on the list's home page. The default is Shown.

Number of Messages

Select how many of the latest messages to show on the list's home page. The default is 3. The maximum is 20.

Pending Messages

Select whether you want pending or scheduled messages to be shown on the list's home page. The default is Shown.

Message Drafts

Select whether you want message drafts to be shown on the list's home page. The default is Shown.

Primary Sorting

Select how you want the archive index to be sorted. The options are By Author, By Date, or By Topic. The default is By Topic.

Table of Contents

Select whether or not you want a table of contents to be shown in your archive index. The default is Shown.

Message Numbers

Select whether you want individual messages and threads to be numbered in the archive index. The default is Hidden.

Default View

Select whether to view the HTML or Text part as the default for multi-part messages. The default is HTML.

Archive Font

Select which type of font to use in the archive message viewer. If you choose Proportional Font, then each character has a different width, depending on their size. For example, the letter w has a different width than the letter i. If you choose Monospace Font, then each letter has the same width. For example, the letter w and the letter i would have the same width; therefore, the word window would look like this using Courier font: window. Notice that the width allotted for the w and the i are the same.

Email Headers

Select which mail headers to show in the archive message viewer. If you select Normal, then only the Subject, Reply-To, From, Date, and Content-Type headers will be shown. This is the default. If you select Show All Headers, then every mail header will be shown.

Changelog Period

Select the default date range of the Server Activity Report and the List Activity Report. The default is 1 day.

Report Period

Select the default date range of the Server Usage Report. The default is 6 months.
