For example, what fields show on the individual course information page are set on the XCourseStatus.htm template. • Some INI settings can be overridden by settings on the individual course record. For example, if you set AllowWaitlist to OFF, you can override that on an individual course by checking the Allow Waitlisting on ACEweb box on the course’s ACEweb Info tab. • Some ACEweb generated messages are not set in the INI. They must be edited via the Custom Text Options feature, accessed from the ACEweb Administration page. • If you don’t find an INI setting that controls the item you want to customize, contact your ACEware technician. They are happy to help you!
