This enables you to select a specific visual theme for each type of control (e.g. docking pane, listview column, calendar and toolbar) and apply this throughout SYSPRO.

	Ensure that the font used by the theme you select is supported in the language you are using in SYSPRO. Some languages may not be fully supported in the font used by the selected theme. For example, the font for the 'Office 2007 Ribbon' theme does not display all Thai characters correctly in SYSPRO docking panes.

Indicate the style you want to apply to the ribbon bar.

Select this to save the primary window position of a program upon exit. When next the program is loaded, the primary window is restored to its saved position.

By default, primary windows for each program are centered within the MDI frame of the main menu.

This only applies if you enabled the Structured General Ledger facility (GL Structure Definition).

This applies to the launching of the online help when clicking on SYSPRO version in the status bar at the base of the Main SYSPRO menu (Status Bar).

This applies when a system-wide view was designed to be contained in the main menu.

Select this to force the system-wide view in the main menu to be visible when the operator logs in.

Select this to force the role view in the main menu to be visible when the operator logs in.

Indicate the font to use for all forms and listviews in SYSPRO.

Select this to display icons alongside custom fields in forms.

This option applies to the descriptions for key fields (e.g. Branch, GL code, Currency, etc) entered on a form.

Enable this to use the short names when applying a selected address from Google Maps (e.g. NY instead of New York and UK instead of United Kingdom).

Additionally, you can toggle between using Short and Long names directly from the address list when you click on Resolve GeoLocation from address option against a Geolocation form field.

The drop down list indicates whether the long or short name is in use. The operator can use the hyperlink to switch between using short or long name, but this applies to that run of SYSPRO only. The system-wide setting is re-applied the next time the operator logs in.

This option is selected by default.

Deselect this option to be able to export listviews to an application other than MS Excel. The Export application field becomes enabled for you to specify the application to use.

You can use any application that accepts a file containing an HTML table as its first parameter.

Indicate the format required for all dates displayed in listviews.

An optimized listview only initially loads the information for the columns you select to display, thereby speeding up the display.

You can use the Edit Icon option to display the icons available. When you select an icon, its corresponding number is inserted into the Icon field.

Operators will be unable to deselect the Show Listview Toolbar option by using their mouse button on a listview column to customize the listview.

The purpose of this option is to only reduce trailing decimal zeroes to a minimum. Therefore, if the number of decimals of the actual cell value is greater than the minimum number define here, then the number of actual decimals in the value is displayed.

For example:

If the Maximum decimals to show for price/cost is set to 2, then

5.12 is displayed as 5.12

5.12000 is displayed as 5.12

5.1234 is displayed as 5.1234

5.10 is displayed as 5.10

The default number of rows is only applied for the initial loading of a listview because thereafter the number of rows can be controlled by listview by operator.

To enforce this default number of rows on initial load for all operators, enable the Always apply default number of rows option.

Although the operator can change the required number of rows to display during the run of a program, the Default number of rows to return is re-applied when the program is closed.

When this option is disabled and then re-enabled, the previously saved drop down list is restored.

You use the Company Calendar program to define the specific working and non-working days on your company calendar.

Indicate the number of days from the previous year that occur in the first week of the current year.

This only applies if you enabled the option: Show week numbers in date navigator.

This enables you to control the week numbering against SYSPRO's Date Navigator.

If the first week of the current year contains four or more days from the previous year, then the first week of the year is numbered as week 53. If it contains three or less days from the previous year, then it is numbered as week 1.

You can also check for new messages by launching the Message Inbox window (right-click within the window and select Refresh Inbox).

Enable this to prevent the unauthorized access to VBScripts by ensuring that they are only stored on the server.

When this option is initially enabled, all VBScripts are copied to the server and removed from the \base\settings\vbscripts folder on the client.

Disabling this option after it has been enabled, will copy the scripts back to the \base\settings\vbscripts folder on the client.

	Regardless of your selection here, VBS Module files (residing in the \vbsmodules folder) are not deleted from the client workstation.

This option works as follows:

When a client machine logs in, SYSPRO copies all the system wide VBScripts to the client machine. They are read into memory and then deleted off the client machine. When SYSPRO needs a script, it uses it from memory. The files always remain on the server.

This is not true for VBScript module files (vbs files) and is not really effective in a terminal server environment because operators can possibly delete each others files with the shared settings directory.

A better option, if security is an issue, may be to use the VBScripts are encrypted on client option. The files are also read into memory, but immediately encrypted on the client machine, so no files are deleted.

When you initially enable this option, save and exit, all VBScripts (system-wide or by role) are copied to all client machines when operators log in and immediately encrypted. This ensures that all scripts are encrypted on all client machines.

The date time-stamp on the ...\work\vbscripts folder is updated to force self-healing to activate.

Thereafter, self-healing of scripts (and encryption) occurs when any scripts are changed on the server.

VBScripts in the ...\work\vbscripts and settings\Role_xxx folders remain as they are (not encrypted), but when these scripts are copied to the client machine, the scripts are encrypted and renamed with a .snk suffix (.snk stands for Strong Name Key).

If no Special characters are entered, then this is taken to mean that the {space} character must be prevented from being entered.

Note that this does not apply to description fields.

This enables you to improve the performance of documents produced using SRS document printing (by pre-loading the Crystal runtime when SYSPRO loads - see Pre-loading the Crystal Runtime)

This only applies in a client/server environment where timeouts have been configured.

	If you are also defining operator timeouts, then you must ensure that the operator Timeout period is less than the KeepAlive timeout (minutes). See Timeout. You typically only use this setting if you are running SYSPRO in a hosted environment.

By default, the SYSPRO Communication Services defaults to a 30 second timeout in the event that the connection to the server fails. At that point the system allows the operator to Retry or Cancel (to exit gracefully out of SYSPRO).

This option enables you to configure the length of time (in seconds) before the Retry message appears when the Internet connection is lost.

If this is configured to anything other than 30 seconds, then when logging into SYSPRO in client/server mode, the SYSPROSCSTimeouts.txt file is created in the ...\base folder on the client. This file contains the configured open timeout.

If the default timeout is subsequently changed back to 30 seconds, then the SYSPROSCSTimeouts.txt file is deleted off the client machine on logging in.

This wording is used as the form caption or listview column heading for the Address field throughout SYSPRO. This listview column of the listview cannot be sorted.
