The configuration of the context is set when the context is created based on the options chosen through the user interface or through data loading, and are not set in a template.

Editing the Context Configuration

The configuration of an organization or application context is set when the context is created based on the options chosen through the user interface. Only a few of the options can be updated:

•For an organization context, update the context using the Edit Organization icon or the Edit action on the organization information page. Site administrators can navigate to the Organizations table (accessed by selecting

Organizations View All) select the Edit action for the organization they want to update.

For details on how to edit and what can be edited, see the help available from the Edit Organization window.

•For an application context, edit the context using the edit context icon or the Edit action from the context information page. First, navigate to the context in the Navigator, and then selecting the specific product, library, project, or program that you want to edit.

For details on how to edit and what can be edited, view the help available from the context information page.

Context Structure

Structure items identify the domains, cabinets, folders, notebook folders, discussion topics, and reference folders for notebooks that are in the context and the domain inheritance scheme that is in place. Contexts define a structure in which related information is organized. This structure can be represented by a domain hierarchy, folder hierarchy, product structure hierarchy, collection of discussion topics, or predefined milestones in a schedule. The structure defined by the context enforces consistency and improves efficiency.

The use of the context structure is very apparent when you look at how domains can help organize rules for users. For example, the Administrator user is associated with the site context /System domain and, therefore, is segregated from other users by default. The other users are associated with child domains of the /User domain. The User domain is in the site context, and the child domains of the /User domain can be in the site context or in an organization context.
