Behavior user preferences for a web client

Option Notes/Description
Wildcard character Specify the character to be used as a wildcard character when you search for information with Filter-in-Place or query forms.

The default character is the asterisk (*).
Show configuration name on caption If you select this option, the name of the system configuration to which you are currently logged on is displayed in the title bar of the application.
Auto-delete all unmodified new rows When this option is not selected, any row that the system inserts in a grid automatically is automatically deleted if you move away from the row without changing anything in it. However, the system does not treat rows that you create using a menu option, toolbar option, or keyboard shortcut the same way. With these rows, the system normally attempts to validate them, whether you have modified them or not.

When this option is selected,all new rows are treated as if they were inserted automatically. In other words, if you manually create a row and then navigate away without changing anything, the system automatically deletes it.

Prompt to save form splitter changes When selected, this option allows you to save any changes you might have made to the position of the splitter bar in multiview forms.

For example, suppose you have a multiview form open, and at some point, you moved the splitter bar to enlarge your view of the grid side of the form. You like that change and want to make it permanent, so that every time you open the form, the splitter bar is right where you positioned it.

If this option is selected, when you try to close the form, the system displays a confirmation box that asks if you want to save the current splitter bar position. To save the form configuration, click Yes.

If this check box is cleared, you cannot save splitter bar position changes at all.

Prompt to save grid changes f you select  this option, you can save any changes that you make to the position of the splitter bar in multiview forms.

For example, suppose you have a multiview form open, and you move the splitter bar to enlarge your view of the grid side of the form. You like that change and want to make it permanent, so that every time you open the form, the splitter bar is right where you positioned it.

If this option is selected, when you close the form,a confirmation message asks if you want to save the current splitter bar position. To save the form configuration, click Yes.

If this check box is cleared, you cannot save splitter bar position changes.

Data Record Cap and List Record Cap The term caps refers to the maximum number of records or items that the system can return at one time. There are two types of caps that you can reset for your work:
  • Data records
  • Drop-down lists

Both of these types of caps have the same three options:

  • Use default: This option forces the system to use the system default cap setting. This is the default option.
  • Retrieve all: This cap forces the system to retrieve all records or display all items in a list, overriding the system default settings.
    Note:  This option is not recommended for most operations, because the time it takes to retrieve all records or display all items on a list can be excessive and slow the system down.
  • Use specified max: This cap enables you to set your own maximum. If you select this option, you must also specify a value in the field next to it.

    For example, if you want the system to return 350 records, select this option data records and set the value for to 350.

    A -1 value indicates that the system default setting is being used.

    This setting is not saved when you sign out of the system.

Note:  Instead of resetting the cap for collections, you can use the Get more rows in the current collection tool bar button.

See About Caps.

Language From the Language list, you can select a language for the text in field labels, button labels, menus, online help, and other parts of the user interface. Then click Apply. This closes the User Preferences window.

See About the Multi-Lingual User Interface.

Note:  Only those languages that are installed and available on your system are listed.
