Default settings - General tab

Open Last Used Form on Startup

Select this option if you are continually working on the same form.

Warn about Check In Failures on Save

Select this option if you want your form to be validated upon saving. The validation requirements are:

• All mandatory data items have been added to the form
• There are no empty grids on the form
• Where multiple controls have been added for the same data item, they do not have different default values specified.
• There are no empty tab pages on the form.

The warning message indicates which of the validation requirements have failed. If you decide not to select this option on the General tab, your form is only validated upon check in.

Sort Functions on Id rather than Description

Before creating a new form, select this option if you want to view the functions by ID rather than description.
