Options Management

A number of NewViews commands launch a window that allows you to control options associated with that command.

Examples of when an option control window appears:

• All Print commands.
• Most Tool commands.
• Block Copy/Paste commands.
• Window Define Columns command (see Managing Column Layouts).

Below you will find an example that demonstrates how you can manage multiple option setups.

The Options Window

When the Print>Account Ledgers>Simple command is issued, an options window is displayed.

The pulldown button to the right of Current Settings is used to select option settings that have been saved previously. These options can be edited or used as they are.

Creating a New Setup

New setups can be based on any of the existing setups, including Default Settings. To create a new options setup:

1. Click the pulldown button to select the option settings to be used as a base for the new settings. If no custom settings have been added yet, use the Default Settings.
2. Click the <New> button to copy the current settings.
   
   
   
   
3. When prompted, type a unique name for the new settings.
   
   
   
   
4. Customize the settings as required, then click <Save>.
   
   
   
   

NOTE: You can edit the Default Settings to provide a common starting point for all new settings.

Deleting an Options Setup

Deleting an options setup is straightforward.

1. If the options setup is not currently displayed, click the pulldown button to select it.
2. Click the <Delete> button.
