Description

Automatically save models before build

Automatically saves all open models before compiling or deploying a model. If you do not select this option, Visual Composer prompts you to save any models with unsaved changes when you click the Compile or Deploy buttons in the Deploy task panel.

Prompt before changing runtime

Specifies that a confirmation prompt is displayed when you change the runtime provider for a specific component in the Configure task panel for the component. Changing the runtime provider for a component affects the runtime providers for all components in the dependency chain during the deployment process.

Define composite views as applications

Defines all composite view components as main applications, so they can be run directly from the Deploy task panel after deployment. If you do not select this option, you can choose to define individual composite view components as main applications in the Configure task panel.

Always generate XGL file

Generates a new XGL file every time a build operation is performed.

Default runtime

Default runtime provider to which to compile and deploy all new models. The default runtime provider controls the runtime to which each component type is compiled. You can view the runtime associated with each component by clicking the View runtime configuration link, described below.

The runtime providers available in the dropdown list may vary according to the Visual Composer kits you have installed.

View runtime configuration

Displays the runtime used for each component type, according to the selected Default runtime. The default runtime configuration defines the deployment location in which each component type is accessed at runtime.
