Modifying ControlPoint Configuration Settings
ControlPoint Application Administrators can modify a number of ControlPoint configuration settings, including
·elements of the user interface
·environmental settings that can be "fine-tuned" to improve performance, and
·default security settings.
ControlPoint Application settings are modified via the ControlPoint Configuration Settings Manager page.
NOTE: If you first installed ControlPoint prior to version 6.0 and prefer to modify settings using the ControlPoint Configuration Site's ControlPoint Settings list, you may continue to do so.
ControlPoint Configuration Settings are farm-specific. If you are using ControlPoint in a multi-farm installation, these settings are managed separately for each farm.
To access the ControlPoint Settings list:
From the Manage ControlPoint panel, chose ControlPoint Configuration > ControlPoint Configuration Settings.
Permissions for this list are inherited from the ControlPoint Configuration site. Therefore, members of ControlPoint Application Administrators group have full control access and can modify settings.
Members of the Administrators group have read-access to the list, and therefore can view, but not modify, settings.
NOTE: ControlPoint Settings can also be edited via the ControlPoint Configuration Site - ControlPoint Settings list. ControlPoint Application Administrators may prefer this option if they have been using ControlPoint prior to version 6.0 and are accustomed to editing settings this way.
Setting Classifications:
ControlPoint Settings fall into the following classifications:
Basic - Generally the most commonly-configured settings,. Only Basic settings display in the ControlPoint Configuration Settings Manager page by default.
Advanced - Less commonly-used settings that you may want to modify to further customize ControlPoint to meet particular needs of your SharePoint environment or users. [
Created - Special-purpose settings that you can add to the ControlPoint Settings list if needed. Generally, these settings should only be configured under special circumstances and with guidance from Quest Support.
Filtering the ControlPoint Configuration Settings List
You can filter the ControlPoint Settings list using one or more of the following options:
·By choosing a Category
·By choosing to Include Advanced Settings
·If special-purpose settings have been created:

TIP: You can view created settings Include Created Settings and selecting the Special Purpose category.
Showing Additional Columns and Sorting by Column
By default, the ControlPoint Configuration Settings list displays the Setting Name and current Value, but you can also choose to Show Internal setting name and/or Show default values. You can sort on any column.
For example, if you are a long-time ControlPoint user and are already familiar with internal setting names, you can sort by this column.

Changing Default Settings for Actions and Analyses
These configuration settings display in the ControlPoint Settings list under the category Actions and Analyses.
Supress "Item is inherited - no processing done" Message(SkipNotDoneMsg)
By default, when a permissions action includes SharePoint objects with inherited permissions, the following line displays in the ControlPoint Task Audit for each of these objects:
Security is inherited - no processing done
ControlPoint Application Administrators can, however, suppress this message for objects with inherited permissions by changing the Value of the ControlPoint Setting Supress "Item is inherited -no processing done" Message from True to False.
Maximum Line Items in Real-time (REPCAP)
By default, the maximum number of line items that can display in ControlPoint search or analysis results that is run interactively (that is, using the "Run Now" option) is 10000. This limit is set to provide administrators with predictable performance when generating an analysis and to keep the result set manageable.
If the limit is exceeded, the following message displays:
This report has more rows than the current row limit of xxxx, only first xxxx rows are displayed. You can raise the limit. It is specified in either REPCAP or SCHEDULEREPCAP.
ControlPoint Application Administrators can set this limit either higher or lower by changing the Value of the ControlPoint Setting Maximum Line Items in Real-time Reports.
