Restyle Configuration Store

Restyle can utilize customized configuration stored in an instance of a database named restyle.nsf.

A common use of this feature involves creating a server-based instance of restyle.nsf from the local restyle.ntf template, followed by creating a local replica of restyle.nsf to be used by the client running Restyle.

Create the Customization Database

To enable this feature, you need to create a database named "restyle.nsf" from the restyle.ntf advanced template, which is included with Nomad for web browsers

  1. From the main menu, navigate to File > Application > New.
  2. In the section titled "Specify New Application Name and Location":
    1. Select a server that allows you to create a database.
    2. Enter a descriptive title for the database.
    3. Specify restyle.nsf as the filename.
  3. In the section titled "Specify Template for New Application":
    1. Select Local as the server name.
    2. Select the Show advanced templates checkbox. This option allows advanced templates to be displayed in the selection.
    3. In the "Template" section, select "restyle.ntf" from the dropdown list.
    4. Ensure the Inherit future design changes checkbox is selected. This ensures the new database will receive future design updates.
  4. Click OK to create the new database.
  5. When asked, "Do you want to index this database now?", select No.
  6. Close your application.

Create a Local Replica of the Customization Database

For Nomad for web browsers to use the custom configuration store, you need to create a local replica of the "restyle.nsf" database.
  1. Launch Nomad for web browsers.
  2. Open the shared copy of restyle.nsf that was created in the previous steps.
  3. Click on the Home tab, then select Launch Workspace.
  4. Right-click on the application and select Application > Make Available Offline.
  5. Confirm that the file name is "restyle.nsf".
  6. Select All Documents and leave the other settings as they are.
  7. Ensure that the Remove documents not modified... checkbox is not ticked.
  8. Click OK. You will see the replication page indicating the replication progress.
Note: If you update the contents of the server replica of restyle.nsf, these changes will appear in Nomad for web browsers when replication occurs.
