Deploying a VIZIT_SETTINGS Object to a Page

Vizit Versions 4.1 and above

The method for deploying a VIZIT_SETTINGS object to a SharePoint page in Vizit Versions 4.1 and above is to use the Vizit Web Part. Follow the steps below to configure Vizit buttons and Vizit Essential using the VIZIT_SETTINGS configuration object:

1. Click Site Actions and choose ‘Edit Page’.

4. Click on the ‘Vizit Web Part Menu’ in the upper right corner of the Web Part. 
5. Select ‘Edit Web Part’.
6. Click on the ‘Advanced’ checkbox, then the ‘Customize’ button.
7. This is where you will add your custom code.  DO NOT put the javascript tags in your code, simply create a VIZIT_SETTINGS object that looks like the following:
   
   

   var VIZIT_SETTINGS = {
           // your settings go here.
      };

8. Once any properties have been set, click either OK or Apply and exit Edit Mode.
