Workspaces

Workspaces preferences settings determine which workspaces, if any, will be opened on application startup, whether changes to workspaces will be saved on application exit, and if a confirmation prompt will appear when Chart/Scanner Windows are closed.

To set workspace preferences:

  1. To open Workspaces on startup, select the Open Workspaces on Start checkbox; clear the checkbox to not open any Workspaces on startup.
  2. To show the Workspaces tsb on software startup, select the Show the dialog checkbox; clear the checkbox to not display the dialog box.
  3. Specify the workspaces you would like to open:
    • Open last active workspace from previous session
    • Open all workspaces from previous session
    • Open prebuilt workspace
  4. To show Save Workspace dialog box on exit, clear the Do not show "Save Workspace" dialog on Exit checkbox; select the checkbox to not display the dialog box. If the checkbox is selected, there 2 options:
    • Select Save workspaces if you want them to be saved automatically without your confirmation
    • Select Do not save workspaces if you want them not to be saved automatically without your confirmation
  5. Windows Deleting. To prompt for a confirmation when a Chart/Scanner Window is closed (deleted), clear the Do not prompt for confirmation when I want to close a window checkbox; check the checkbox to prompt for a confirmation when a window is closed.
  6. Wizard Options. To open Wizard on software startup, select the Run Wizard on Startup checkbox; clear the checkbox to not launch it on startup.
