# Runtime Settings

The Runtime Settings page lets Portal Administrators configure timeout periods, set the preferred locale for dimension strings, and choose the format of exported reports.

Note: The timeout settings that you specify on this page are only for Analytics reporting purposes; there is no relationship between these timeout settings and other portal timeout settings.

The following sections describe the runtime settings that you can configure.

Timeout Settings

Setting | Description
Visit Timeout (seconds) | Type the maximum number of seconds that a user must remain inactive during a portal visit in order for Analytics to report subsequent activity as a new portal visit. Analytics reports this data on the Duration console page. The default is 120 seconds.

Preferred Locale

Use the drop-down list to select the locale (language) in which you want Analytics to display report data. The locale that you select determines the object names that Analytics requests from your portal. For example: if you select France - France [fr_FR], Analytics requests the French names—localized for France—of objects from your portal.

This setting only determines the language of the data in Analytics reports. Individual users must configure their own browser's locale setting to specify their language preference for non-data strings that appear on Analytics console pages. Examples of non-data strings are text in dialog boxes, drop-down lists, buttons, and tabs.

Note: You must ensure that strings in the preferred locale that you select exist in your portal. If your portal does not return object names in your preferred locale, Analytics performs one of the following:

- If your preferred locale is not country-specific (for example, if your preferred locale is French - [fr]), Analytics requests objects names from your portal using the locale setting of the machine on which Analytics is installed. If your portal does not return object names in this locale, Analytics displays object IDs in reports instead of localized strings.
- If your preferred locale is country-specific—and your portal does not return object names in this locale—Analytics attempts to find strings in the most appropriate locale that is not country-specific. If your preferred locale is not country-specific (for example, if your preferred locale is France - France [fr_FR]) and your portal does not return object names in this locale—Analytics requests object names from French - [fr]. If your portal does not return strings in this locale, Analytics requests object names using the locale setting of the machine on which Analytics is installed. If your portal does not return object names in this locale, Analytics displays object IDs in reports instead of localized strings.

Export Report

Selection | Description
Export Format | Select to export reports in one of the following formats: Excel (10,000 row limit): Exporting to Excel is limited to 10,000 rows. If you choose this option, reports that contain more than 10,000 rows in Analytics will contain only the first 10,000 rows when exported to Excel. TSV: Tab Separated Values is a text-based file format in which exported columns are separated by tabs. TSV files are typically opened by Excel. Note: Although TSV reports have no limitation on numbers of rows, exported reports in excess of 10,000 rows will likely take an extended period of time to generate.
