Administering Volt
The following topics contain information for HCL Domino Volt admins.
- Controlling who creates HCL Volt applications
  To configure who can create and delete applications, you need to modify the Access Control List (ACL) for VoltBuilder.nsf.
- Volt configuration settings
  Volt configuration settings are in VoltConfig.nsf in the volt folder of your Domino data directory (volt/VoltConfig.nsf). Use the Notes client or the Domino Administrator client to modify a configuration setting.
- Core Domino server configuration
  HCL Domino Volt is an add-on to the core HCL Domino server. Volt runs in the context of the Domino web server (HTTP process). Therefore, Volt is affected by the underlying Domino server configuration. This topic covers some of the core configuration settings that may affect Volt.
- Upgrading from prior releases
  Beginning with Volt 1.0.2, all Volt NSF files set the database property Don't Maintain Unread Marks as default, which should improve performance. NSF files created in prior versions of Volt are not changed.
- Adding a custom theme
- Volt Cleanup process
  Volt Cleanup primarily purges orphaned Builder attachments, orphaned application attachments, and old Preview databases. Prior to release 1.0.3, this process was done by the Volt Cleanup Agent.
- Enabling basic authentication for HCL Volt API requests
  If form-based authentication is enabled, you will see an HTML form for authentication instead of a pop-up window. This topic provides instructions on how to disable HTML form-based authentication for the HCL Volt server API URL paths and enable basic authentication.
- Securing your Volt deployment
- HCL Link integration
  HCL Link provides a platform for data and application integration.

Adding a custom theme

Add a custom theme

Refer to Volt configuration settings and enable the custom themes related settings:

customThemes.[ID].displayName
customThemes.[ID].location

Restart the Domino HTTP task.

Verifying a custom theme

A custom theme shows at design time in the same list as existing Volt themes. This includes the new application wizard and the Theme drop down in the Style tab.

Note: Once custom themes are added to the system, avoid changing or deleting theme IDs and locations. Changing these settings may affect existing applications. However, changing the display name won’t affect existing applications.

If you need to update an existing custom theme, the best and easiest way is to change the content at the theme location while keeping the location URL the same as before. The content change will seamlessly apply to all existing applications. No additional action is necessary.
