Material and Color Property Settings
The following properties apply to the configuration of materials and colors.
Adding Materials and Colors to Subpalettes and Parent Palettes
Administrators can control how the system handles the addition of materials and colors to subpalettes and parent palettes using the following property:
com.lcs.wc.color.LCSPaletteLogic.addMaterialOrColorFromParentPalette.mode=<value>
The values for this property setting are as follows:
• 0—Materials and colors must first exist in the parent palette. Users cannot search against the material and color libraries.
• 1—Materials and colors can be added to a subpalette without first existing in the parent palette. Materials and colors added to the subpalette are not automatically added to the parent palette.
• 2—Materials and colors can be added to a subpalette without first existing in the parent palette. Materials and colors added to the subpalette are automatically added to the parent palette.
Deleting Materials and Colors from Subpalettes and Parent Palettes
Administrators can control how the system handles the deletion of a material or color from a parent palette using the following property:
com.lcs.wc.color.LCSPaletteLogic.propagateDeleteFromPaletteToSubPalette=<value>
Setting this property to true enables the automatic deletion of materials and colors from subpalettes when the material or color is deleted from the parent palette. Setting this property to false prevents the system from automatically deleting materials or colors from subpalettes when they are deleted from parent palettes.
• If this property is set to false and the add material property setting is set to 0 or 2, the system prevents users from deleting materials, colors, and material-colors on the parent palette that are also used by the subpalette. The system displays a warning message to users.
• If this property is set to false and the add material property setting is set to 1, users can delete materials, colors, and material-colors on the parent palette without affecting any subpalettes.
