MForms
User settings
| Setting | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Show Label Tooltips | Enabled | This setting displays the full length text for labels as a tool tip. Labels are sometimes abbreviated due to space constraints; the tool tip displays human-readable text. The tool tip text can be the same as the label text if the full length label fits. Label tool tips can also be disabled on the MNE server. In this case, enabling this setting will have no effect. |
| Show Field Help Tooltips | Enabled | This setting displays the field help as a tool tip for text boxes, combo boxes, and check boxes. If no field help is found, nothing is displayed when the user hovers over a field. |
| Show Messages In Dialog | Disabled | This setting displays messages from the M3 server in a popup dialog instead of on the status bar, which is the default. |
| Show Company And Version | Enabled | This setting displays the current company, division, and version information on the title bar of an MForm. |
| Position Cursor At End | Disabled | This setting places the cursor at the end of text boxes when it receives keyboard focus. The default behavior is to select all text. |
| Use Plus Key As Tab | Disabled | This setting assigns the plus key as an alternative to the tab key for keyboard navigation. |
| Right Align Labels | Disabled | This setting aligns field labels to the right instead of the left, which is the default. |
| Enable Window Toolbox | Enabled | This setting enables the toolbox area to the right of the MForms windows. |
| Show Navigation History in Toolbox | Enabled | This setting displays the program call stack at the bottom of the toolbox. The program call stack is visible only when at least one program jump has been made. The setting will only apply when the toolbox is enabled with the setting Enable Window Toolbox. |
| Enable Keyboard Buffer | Disabled | This setting enables buffering of keyboard input during a request. When a request is completed, it will replay any recorded keyboard events. The keyboard buffer is not generic; it only supports some specific scenarios. The buffer supports text input, tab navigation, and Enter and function keys. |
| Expand List Tables | Enabled | Display expandable list rows for programs that support this. If the program supports expandable list rows and this setting is disabled, the expandable content will instead be displayed in additional list columns. |

| Program Options |
The program-specific default list options. There is no
default value for this setting but it is possible to add values as
necessary. The syntax for this setting is
Program
name=Option
separated by
a semicolon, for example, MMS001=5;CRS10=2

| Disable Trace | Disabled | This setting disables the M3 BE Trace functionality. See Trace viewer. |
| Disable Record Annotations | Disabled |
This setting disables annotations for specific records. When record level annotations are enabled, it causes a small overhead for each request. You may decide to disable this feature for performance reasons. Note: Record level annotation in MForms are only supported
if the M3 program supports Bookmarks. For programs that do not support
Bookmarks, this setting has no effect.
|
| Disable Excel Export | Disabled | This setting enables or disables the ability for users to export data to Excel. |
| Disable Copy to Clipboard | Disabled | This setting enables or disables the ablilty for users to copy data to the clipboard. |

The roles can be used to set up different personalizations for different roles. See M3 Business Engine documentation for information about how to create and manage the roles. |
| Enable application messages | Enabled | This setting enables or disables the M3 form messages. When disabled, the CRS420MI will not be called and no M3 application messages will show up in the Inbox widget. |
| Roles | Roles (Comma-separated list of roles) An optional list of roles that is used only if M3 roles are disabled. The setting can be controlled by policies to allow different values for different users. If policies are not used, the same roles will be applied to all users. | |
| Menu Fetch Timeout | 5 | The Menu Fetch Timeout is the timeout in minutes for the Web Service call to retrieve the menus in Business Engine connected to the user. This list can contain several thousands of entries. |

Personalizations
| Setting | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Disable Personalization | Disabled | This setting enables or disables the personalization functionality. (Note that personalization is the same as customization) |
| Always enable all user pesonalizations | Disabled | This setting enables users to create all types of personalization. The setting should only be used with rules for certain users or a group of users that is allowed to create any type of personalization. When this setting is enabled, it overrides the individual personalization settings documented in the User Personalizations section below. Using this setting with rules is a more convenient way to allow all personalziation types than to create rules for each individual personalization type. |
| Disable User Personalizations | Disabled | This setting enables or disables the possibility for a user to create or modify a personalization. When user customization is disabled, MForms panels can still be personalized by an administrator but the user is not allowed to modify the personalization or create new ones. |
