Runtime Behaviors user preferences options in the Windows client
Runtime Behaviors settings control how the system behaves.
This table shows the available Runtime Behaviors user preferences options in the Windows client:
Option | Description/Comments/Procedures |
---|---|
Use Workstation Login | To use your workstation user
ID and workstation domain name to log into the system, select this
option. When selected, you are not prompted to specify a user ID and a password to log into the system. Instead, you are automatically logged in using preregistered login credentials. When this check box is cleared, you are prompted for a login ID and password every time you log in. To use this option, your system administrator must register your workstation domain name and user ID in the field.This check box also appears on the Sign In dialog box. If you select the check box in the Sign In dialog box, then you do not have to provide a user name and password, but you can still select different configurations. Note: If you are accessing your application through
Infor OS Portal or Infor Ming.le, then we recommend that you do
not change the workstation login credentials on the Users form or during
sign-in.
|
Show Configuration Name on Caption | To display the name of the system configuration, to which you are currently logged on, in the title bar of the application, select this option. |
Prompt to Save Form Splitter Changes | When this option is selected,
a prompt to save your changes displays when you close a MultiView
form in which changes have been made to the position of the splitter
bar. For example, in a MultiView form, you can move the splitter bar to enlarge the Grid View of the form. If this option is selected, then you can save the changes permanently, so that every time you open the form, the Grid View is right where you positioned it. When you close the form, a prompt displays, asking whether you want to save the current splitter bar position. To save the form configuration, click .If this check box is cleared, you cannot save splitter bar position changes in Runtime Mode. |
Prompt to Save Grid Changes | When this option is selected,
a prompt to save your changes displays when you close a MultiView
form in which changes have been made to the Grid View. For example, in a MultiView form, you can widen some columns and narrow other columns in the Grid View of the form. If this option is selected, then you can save the changes permanently, so that every time you open the form, the Grid View is just as you have it now. When you close the form, a prompt displays, asking whether you want to save the current Grid View changes. To save your changes, click .If this check box is cleared, you cannot save Grid View changes in Runtime Mode. |
Prompt to Save Flex Layout Changes | When this option is selected, a prompt
to save your changes displays when you close a form in which changes
have been made to its FlexLayout attributes. Note: Before you perform a change, you should revert
any runtime changes. Failure to do so can cause confusing
results and interfere with your changes. See the help topic,
Reverting form changes made in
runtime mode.
|
Prompt to Save DataView Layout Changes | When this option is selected, prompt to save your changes
displays when you close a form in which an updated DataView layout
is in use, or if a DataView layout is switched to another
layout. DataView Layout changes include updates to:
The prompt to save changes applies to all types of DataView Layouts except for DataSearch. If you make changes to multiple DataView components in a form, then a separate prompt to save your changes appears for each component. |
ENTER Key Behaves Like TAB | To use the Note:
If you select this option, then you can use the key or the key for most movement between fields and options on the form, with these exceptions:
|
key to
move between fields on a form, in the same way the key works,
select this option. To use only the key to move between fields,
clear this check box.
Include Grid Column Headers Copying to Clipboard | If you select this option, whenever you copy data in a grid, the column headers are also copied to the clipboard. To copy only the data in the grid, and exclude column headers, clear this check box. |
Unload IDO Metadata With Forms | To clear the IDO metadata
cache each time you unload global form objects in Design Mode,
select this check box. To unload global form objects, select .In IDO or application event development, clearing the cache ensures that you see the results of the current, edited metadata. |
Auto-delete All Unmodified New Rows | When this option is not
selected, any row that is automatically inserted in a grid, is also
automatically deleted if you move away from the row without changing
anything in it. However, if you create a row using a menu option, a
toolbar option, or a keyboard shortcut, and you move away from the
row, then the new row is not deleted and you are prompted to change
the values in the row. When this option is selected, newly added rows that are also unmodified are automatically deleted. For example, if you click the button to manually create a row, and then navigate away without changing anything, the newly added blank row is automatically deleted. |
Optimize Script Execution | This option optimizes form
and global scripts so that they all run in one domain. This improves
the loading and compiling time of scripts. In most cases, this option must be selected. This option must be cleared only for developers and system administrators who are creating, maintaining, or debugging scripts. In a normal runtime environment, if you clear this option, detrimental effect on system performance can happen. |
Display Captions in Most Recently Used forms list | To display the form captions, instead of form names, in the Most Recently Used list, select this option. |
Load/replace form with extended form | To enable users to extend and replace an original (base) form, select
this option. If this option is selected, when a request to open the
base form is received, a new (extended) form, of a base form,
opens. This option is available only to users with Site Developer or Vendor Developer editing permissions. |
Wildcard Character | Specify a wildcard character.
The wildcard character is used when you search for information with
Filter-in-Place or query forms. The default character is the asterisk (*). |
SQL Characters to Pass Through In Filtering | Specify a SQL character to
pass through in filtering. The special character that you specify is
escaped in SQL wildcard queries. The underscore (_) and square brackets ([ ]) are special characters that you can use in a query with a SQL "LIKE" clause and a wildcard. For example, the underscore character in a wildcard context is treated as "any character" by SQL unless it is escaped. There are users who use these special characters with their built-in query capabilities while others use the characters like any other character in the query. For example, if you specify the underscore character as a character to pass through and you perform a query for the value my_data*, then the SQL Server ESCAPE clause is applied to the underscore character in the query, and only instances that start with my_data are returned. If you do not specify the the underscore character in this field, the _ in the query represents represents "any character" and instances such as my3data are returned. |
User Data Record Cap and User List Record Cap | The term "cap" 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 set:
Note:
Both of these types of caps have the same three options:
|
Language | To set the language for the
texts in field labels, button labels, menus, online help, and other
parts of the user interface, select a language from the list, and
then click Note: Only languages that are installed and are
available on your system are listed. It can take a few minutes
for the language to apply to the system.
Currently, the Mongoose help is available only in U.S. English. |
.
Initial Command | The value in this field
indicates the default initial command that is run when a form is
opened and the form has no explicitly defined initial command. This
user default initial command is applied only if the standard
operation corresponding to that initial command is enabled for the
form. You can select any of these options:
|
Comparison Tool | To locate and use comparison tool, click the ellipsis button. Before you can use this option, you must install a file comparison tool. |
