about the identity of a client visiting your site. By managing client
variables, this identity information lets you customize page content for
clients. For details, see Client variable
planning and Manage
client variables.
Memory Variables: Enable
application and session variables server-wide. By default, application
and session variables are enabled when you install ColdFusion. You can
specify maximum and default timeout values for session and application
variables. You can also specify whether to use J2EE session variables.
For details, see Manage
memory variables.
Mappings: Create or map logical aliases for physical directories on your server. Map directories only if you use ColdFusion with CGI or use absolute references to ColdFusion pages with the cfinclude tag. For details, see About logical aliases for physical directories and Create mappings.

Charting: Specify caching and thread settings for the ColdFusion charting and graphing engine. For details, see Set charting preferences.
Font Management: Review and define fonts for use with Adobe FlashPaper and PDF output. ColdFusion generates FlashPaper and PDF output formats through the cfdocument tag and through the cfreport tag, when used to call a report created with the ColdFusion Report Builder. For details, see Set font management preferences.
Document: Configure your OpenOffice application on a local or remote ColdFusion server. For details, see Configure OpenOffice.
