Configuring P4V

This chapter describes how to configure your P4V and user preferences locally within P4V:

Users with admin privileges can also set:

Performance-related P4V properties centrally using a P4JSAPI centralsettings.js file. For more information, see Administering P4V Settings Centrally in the Javascript API for Visual Tools User Guide.
Performance- and feature-related P4V properties globally by running the p4 property command on the Helix Server. This method is reserved for users with admin privileges. For more information, see Configuring P4V settings in Helix Core Server Administrator Guide: Fundamentals.

Note

Performance and feature-related properties set centrally or globally override local P4V settings. Some properties can only be set on the server level.

For information on using P4V with Swarm, see Integration with Swarm. For more details on setting up the integration, done by an admin user on the Helix Server, see Swarm integration properties in the Helix Core Server Administrator Guide: Fundamentals.
