Document names longer than 40 characters are truncated

Open Bee Poral 5 limits the displayed size of document names to 40 characters. This limit, put in place for reasons of display layout, is sometimes inappropriate and restrictive.  Here’s how to edit it: 

  • Go to the Open Bee Portal installation folder: C: Program Files (x86)OpenBeeOpenBeePortal5openbeeportal by default.
  • Open the configuration file app.yml located in the “config” folder.     (warning) This file is encoded in UTF-8 and must therefore be edited with an editor that supports this encoding.
  • Look for the value: allowedNameSize:

    40 and change 40 to the desired value, 100   for example.

  • Clear the cache by deleting all subfolders in the “cache” folder
