System Parameters: System Tab
System parameters are settings that control how Aprimo operates in your environment. Some system parameters have preconfigured values that you can change to customize Aprimo to meet your organization's needs. You can edit system parameters when needed.
To learn more about a system parameter, point to it to view a ScreenTip that contains this information:
- A short description
- The date when the system parameter was last modified
- The user who last modified the system parameter
If you edit a system parameter:
- For Aprimo Marketing Studio 9.1, restart the Aprimo Utility Service and Internet Information Services (IIS) on each server in your environment.
- Have users clear their web browser’s cache to ensure they see the changes.
- Be aware that most system parameters are domain-specific.
If your implementation uses multiple domains, you must log in to each domain separately and configure the system parameters.
- Monitor disk space for user-created files.
Several system parameters are related to locations of user-created files. These include attachments, inbound forms, and update task pages. Depending on the number of users and how they use the system, they can create a large number of files. In many cases, Aprimo never automatically deletes these files. When you specify these files' locations, be sure the locations have ample disk space. Periodically check these locations to ensure they have sufficient room for future files.
- Use the appropriate syntax for URLs and folders.
As you configure system parameters in Aprimo Marketing Studio 9.1, you specify URLs, paths, and folder names. Remember these guidelines:
- When you specify a URL, start the address with http://.
- When you specify a path, use Universal Naming Conventions (UNC).
You can specify an absolute path. For example, an absolute path might start with C:\.
If you specify an absolute path for a system parameter, remember that this is a local folder on the Web server. If you use Aprimo in a multi-server environment, specifying an absolute path for a system parameter can prevent some features from working as expected.
The system tab contains the following sections:

Security
You configure the system parameters in this section to specify the list of rights the security administrator can assign. For more information, see Creating a Security Administrator.
System Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Additional Content-Security Policy(CSP) domains |
CSP is a mechanism designed to add an additional layer of protection against injection attacks, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). CSP achieves this by specifying limitations on which resources may be loaded and from where. For example, a compatible browser could be instructed to only execute scripts which are hosted on whitelisted domains. This system parameter accepts multiple domains separated by a space. For each domain, two formats are supported: *.xyz.com or abc.xyz.com. For example, to support two sites (site1 and site2) within in the domain xyz.com, the system parameter would be 'site1.xyz.com site2.xyz.com'. To support all sites in the domain xyz.com, the system parameter would be '*.xyz.com' Common items added to this system parameter are domains of external logos, PowerBI reports, and Tableau reports. |
