Upgrade Search Available Properties

Question

Hi,
I'm going through my first Adaxes upgrade, from 2013.1 to 2014.1.
I don't see all the properties I think are configured in the simple search.
Config:

Search dropdown:

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Where is this information stored?
Is it possible to edit the "Available Properties" and "Available Columns" files directly?
I'd really like to sort these values in the "Available Columns" file, is that possible?

Hello,

Are you sure that you are viewing the same Web Interface type (Administrator) that you configure? The available properties are configured differently for each Web Interface type.

Also, if you've installed the Web Interface on several computers, you'll need to make the configuration on each computer where the Web Interface is installed because currently Web interface configuration is not replicated. To make this easier, you can use Web Interface backup / restore to back up the configuration on the computer where you've configured the available columns, and then restore it on all the other computers. For information on how to back up / restore Web interface configuration, see the following help article: http://www.adaxes.com/help/?HowDoI.Conf ... onfig.html.

As for changing the order of the available properties and columns, you won't be able to change the order of Available Properties. They are always sorted alphabetically. The possibility to sort Available Columns was added in Adaxes 2014.1 After upgrade to Adaxes 2014.1, in the Web Interface Customization tool you'll see 2 arrows at the bottom of the columns list that allow you to move the currently selected column up or down (i.e. to the left or to the right in the Web interface).

Thank you for the information.
My primary oversight was with the "selected by default" fields. Once I matched those to our production 2013.1 instance everything is ok in the new 2014.1 instance.
It is not clear that they are restored from the backup?

Sorting the columns manually one-by-one through the interface is quite tedious. I was hoping to be able to edit the file, but I understand that may not be something you want customers to do.
