To define system settings

Program settings that deal with database management and default folder locations are located in the Application Configuration window.

  1. On the Menu Bar, select Utilities.
  2. From the list of options, select Settings.
  3. A window titled "Application Configuration" will open.
  4. Change your settings as necessary.
  5. Click Save to save these changes.

The different setting options are summarized in the following table:

Feature

Function

1 Application Database Path

This identifies the Database file to which the program is connected. If this is changed you will need to close and reopen the program to begin working with the new database.

2 Default Image Folder

This defines the default image folder. This is the folder in which you store part images for implementation in the Image Gallery section of reports.

3 Default Database Backup Folder

This is the folder in which the program places automatically created database backup files.

4 Auto-backup the Database Setting

This allows you to define how frequently the program automatically updates the database backup file.

5 Application Skin Selection

This allows you to select which application skin you want the program to use. Each skin is specially designed for different screen resolution settings so that all of the program information will fit properly in your screen. It is recommended that you let the program auto-detect your screen resolution and choose a skin accordingly (see item 6).

6 Automatically Select Skin Setting

Leave this turned on (recommended) to allow the program to detect your screen resolution and choose the most fitting skin. If you download custom skins or have an irregular screen monitor size you may want to turn this off and experiment with different application skins.
