Selecting Landmark settings

Landmark settings provide some options for working with dates and displays in Landmark applications and for troubleshooting. These settings can be changed at any time.

  1. Select Start > Settings and then click the Landmark tab.
  2. Make selections for the following settings as needed.
    Default 'Effective Date' To Today

    When this option is enabled, when you add new records in your applications that have effective dates, the current date is added automatically. This prevents you from having to select a date every time you add a new record. It is convenient if you typically add records that require the current date.

    Show Action Reason/Action Comment Dialog on Actions

    If a reason code is required for an action, it is incorporated as a field on the application form. However, you may want to enter a reason code for all your actions, whether required or not. The audit log keeps track of action reasons and comments.

    If you select this check box a Reason/Action Comment dialog box will pop up every time you perform an action.

  3. Power users can use the following settings for troubleshooting. You will probably enable them specifically for troubleshooting purposes, and then disable them again when you are finished.
