Global Settings
Global settings apply to the entire Protege system - including all sites and all controllers. They define such
things as:
 The user name format
 How long event records are stored
 The backup settings
They also define email, display, and sound settings which we will cover in a later module.
Setting the Display Name Format of Users
The User Display Name Auto Format property allows you to automatically populate the Name field of a user
based on the information entered in to the First Name and Last Name fields. This name is used throughout the
system to identify users - in event logs, reports, at keypads, etc.
Choose from:
 Short Format: to use the first character of the first name and the full last name (eg JSmith)
 Long Format: to use the full first and last names (eg JohnJacobSmith)
Set it to Long Format now.
Event Database Capacity
The maximum capacity of your event database varies according to the version of SQL Server you are using.
 SQL Server Express 2008 R2 (the version that is included in the Protege GX setup package), has a
database limit of 10GB.
 Earlier version of SQL Server Express (including SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server 2008 Express),
have a maximum database size is 4GB.
 The full Standard or Enterprise editions of SQL Server have no such size limitation however in reality you will
still have limitations based on the physical storage capacity of your server and your ability to manage and
backup/restore the database.
