Saving Settings

< Previous section  |  Table of Contents  |  Index  |  Next section >

A number of windows let you save some of their settings. For example, the window for printing a work order can "remember" the number of Additional labor lines and Additional material lines from one MainBoss session to the next. This means that you don't have to fill in these fields each time you print work orders; MainBoss will automatically remember the settings you have saved.

Note: Settings may only be saved by the administrator. Therefore, to save settings you must log in as the administrator.

To save settings for a window:

  1. Move the mouse pointer to the title bar of the window (the bar at the top of the window where the window's title is displayed).
  2. Right-click on the title (press the mouse's right-hand button). A small menu will appear.
  3. If you can save settings for this particular window, the menu will have a Save Settings entry. Click this menu item.

Many windows do not let you save their settings. The ability to save settings is most commonly associated with windows for printing reports.

When you ask to save the settings for a window, MainBoss does not save all the settings; it only saves the settings that you are most likely to keep the same in future.
