User Preferences

User specific preferences can be set to define how Batch and Task records are presented, the sequential increment between Job numbers and whether requests to update, delete and cancel record changes activate a confirmation prompt.

To set user preferences follow the steps below:

1.       Choose File ® Preferences or click on the Change User Preferences button to invoke the User Preferences form.

2.       Using the Lookup Format drop-down list select ID: Name to have all records display with their identification number followed by their name or Name: ID to have all records display with their name followed by their system identification number.

3.       Using the Job Sequence Increment field integer buttons, or by inputting directly over the current value, indicate the sequence increment between Jobs.  The minimum recommendation is ‘10’.  This allows you to add additional Jobs easily at a later date.

4.       Check the Confirm Update check box to have SLIK prompt before saving amendments to existing records. 

5.       Check the Confirm Delete check box to have SLIK prompt before processing delete requests.

6.       Check the Confirm Cancel check box to have SLIK prompt before moving off a current record that has changed.

7.       Click on the OK button to save your User Preferences to the system.
