This portlet displays a top panel with two grids underneath: To Publish and Published. The top panel displays the number of pending configurations to publish.

Note: If there are pending configurations that need to be manually published, the Publish All button will display. Pending configurations appear in the To Publish list, while changes already published are viewable in the Published list.  

 

Auto Publish

Configuration Publish will automatically publish configuration changes when the auto-configuration generic attribute is active.

To use auto-publish, 

1. Navigate to Administration > Generic Attribute Maintenance
2. Search the generic attributes “auto_configuration_publish” and “allow_configuration_publish”,  select the Generic Attribute and select the Edit Generic Attribute to edit the value. For more information on setting generic attributes, see Generic Attribute Maintenance.   

Note: If the generic attributes are not added, Configuration Publish will be disabled and the user will have to manually add both generic attributes.
