EFD Management Configuration

EQuIS Enterprise provides extensive flexibility with how EQuIS Format Definition (EFD) files are managed and consumed by the Enterprise workflow service. Configuration is performed by editing records in the ST_CONFIG table where CONFIG_SECTION = efdManagementConfiguration.

The blankeddvalues CONFIG_KEY setting can be used to determine if and how a blank EDD Microsoft Excel template file will be populated when downloaded from the EDP EDD Upload Widget. The value of the STRING_VALUE field controls the generation of the Blank EDD file for the specified format. In the absence of a record existing in ST_CONFIG, or if configured incorrectly, the Blank EDD file will be generated using “Blank” as the default option.

See the EFD Management article for a broader discussion of EFD configuration.
