Understanding Client Settings

  1. Initial Execution Conditions:

    • Layout: Dropdown menu likely for selecting the initial layout of the application.
    • Theme: Dropdown menu to select the visual theme, with "Steel" being the current selection.
    • ViewOnly: Options to restrict the view mode to web clients or Windows clients.

  2. Indications for Tag Quality and Security:

    • Dropdown menus and checkboxes for handling security restrictions, undefined quality, and bad quality tags. These settings probably control how the application reacts to various quality and security scenarios.

  3. Enable Multiple Monitors (RichClients Only):

    • A checkbox to enable multi-monitor support for rich clients, which are likely more feature-rich versions of the application.
    • Number of Monitors: Dropdown to select the number of monitors, with "2" being the current selection and settings for the second monitor.

  4. The following settings are available only for RichClients and SmartClients (Windows):

    • Title: Text field labeled "Startup Window", presumably to set the title of the initial window.
    • MinimizeBox, MaximizeBox, CloseBox, Resize: Checkboxes to enable or disable window control buttons.
    • Start Maximized (Except on Development Profile): Checkbox to start the application maximized on the screen, except when in development mode.
    • Show Menu: Checkbox that might control the visibility of the application's main menu.
    • Options like File, Tools, Security are listed, indicating different menus or sections within the application. They are accompanied by checkboxes, which may enable or disable these menu items.
    • Always shows Menus in Development Profile: A checked checkbox, indicating that menus will always be shown when in development profile mode.

  5. Mouse Cursor Visible, OnScreen Keyboard:

    • Checkbox to make the mouse cursor visible.
    • An option for an on-screen keyboard, which would be useful for touch-based interfaces or when a physical keyboard is not available.
    • Set Default: A button that might restore default settings for these options.

  6. Multiple windows on the same computer share user logon:

    • A checkbox that likely allows multiple instances of the application to share the same user credentials on a single computer.
