By default, Measure Factory license holders do not have the option to select a marker or DiveBook Closedfile type as a data source for indicator portlets.

Edit indicator portlet, select a data source dialog box.

To override this behavior and allow marker and DiveBook files to be used, you can set the ignore-measure-factory-license portal info setting to true in the portaldb.json file. This setting prevents DivePort from filtering markers and DiveBook file types from the Edit Indicator Portlet dialog box.

NOTE: This is a portal-wide setting that allows you to use the Measure Factory-licensed DiveLine with a portal (that is, another DivePort instance) that is not limited by Measure Factory restraints. You can use DI Bridge to seamlessly switch access between the Measure Factory portal and the non-measure factory portal.
