About Visualization Configuration Administration
Visualization Configuration Administration consists of Creo View Configuration and Publish Rules. Creo View Configurations allow watermark settings in Creo View to be configured from the server. Publish Rules are used to control publishing and post-publish behavior. With both configuration types, the system walks up the context hierarchy until it finds an applicable configuration object.
If you add a configuration at the Site level, it applies to the entire system. If you add a configuration at a specific Organization level, then the Organization’s configuration overrides the Site configuration for objects contained in the Organization and their children.
The same thing is true at the Product, Project, and Library level. Locating a configuration starts with the Product, Project, or Library context, then the Organization context, and finally the Site context.
For details about Publish Rules, see About Publish Rules.
To access Visualization Configuration, click Visualization Configuration Administration on the Utilities page from the Site, Organizations, Products, Projects, or Libraries context.
All Visualization Configurations (in the context and child contexts) are listed on the Creo View Configurations table.
