Problem

Too many files and drawings to load in the Available Files browser and the Available Drawings window. The number of files and drawings make opening the correct file difficult, and it slows loading the browsers.

Solution

In Smart Construction, you can configure when certain browser windows load data:

  • Automatically when the browser window is first opened

  • Only after a search is performed

For sites with a large amount of data, to improve performance it is best to configure the browser to load data after a search.

The DisableBrowserAutoLoad key in the SPC.Client.exe.config file on the local client computer is used to configure this setting. Adding a value representing a browser to this key disables the loading of data when that browser is first opened and will only load data after a search is performed.

  • This configuration must be set up on each Smart Construction client workstation on which you want to load data after a search.

  • If configuring multiple browser windows, use a comma to separate values in the key.

  1. Browse to the Smart Construction installation location and open the Smart Construction client configuration file (for example, browse to [Drive]:\Program Files\SmartConstruction\SPCClient\SPC.Client.exe.config).

  2. Add the following values to the DisableBrowserAutoLoad key in the SPC.Client.exe.config file to disable loading data when that window is opened.

    • By default, some browser windows are already configured to disable automatic loading of data on opening.

    • The list below shows all the browser windows that can be controlled by this key setting.
