Saving and Retrieving Settings for Utilities and Activities

Many utilities and activities provide an option to save the settings you specified in the fields on the form. You can later retrieve the settings and run the process without re-entering values in the fields.

Note:  This feature is available only on forms that include the Store Options command on the Actions menu.
  1. To save your settings:
    1. Specify your selection criteria and task options in a utility or activity form.
    2. Select Actions > Store Options.
    3. In the Store Options form, specify an ID. The ID is a name you assign to the current settings as an aid to recalling the settings later. For example, if you plan to run a utility with the current settings every Friday, you could use the ID Friday.
    4. Click OK.
  2. To retrieve saved settings:
    1. Open the utility or activity form.
    2. Select Actions > Get Options.
    3. In the Get Options form, select the ID that represents the group of settings you want to retrieve.
    4. Click OK.

To save more than one group of settings for a form, assign a different ID to each group.
