Prompt for Company Code

Select this check box if you want to be asked to enter a company code when logging on to the system. Clear this check box if you do not want to be asked to enter a company code; the current company will then be set to the last one you were using.



Retain Module on Company Change

Select this check box to remain in the current module when changing companies. Clear this check box if you want to revert to Library Master as the current module when changing companies.

Note If you switch to a company in which the current module is not set up, Library Master will be the current module in the selected company.



Implied Decimal Point

Select this check box to use an implied decimal point when entering numeric values. The system adds the decimal point automatically when you enter numeric values (for example, 123 = 1.23). Clear this check box if you do not want to use an implied decimal point (for example, 123 = 123.00).

Select this check box to allow the ENTER key to function like the TAB key within grids. If this check box is selected, the ENTER key advances to the next field in the grid. Clear this check box if you want the ENTER key to advance to the next line within the grid.

Select this check box to display amounts that reduce the balance in red text. Clear this check box if you do not want to display amounts that reduce the balance in red text.



Lookup Limit for Initial Display

Type the maximum number of records to load when performing a lookup.

If the number of records in the data file is greater than the value entered in this field, no records will load in the lookup window. For example, if you type 5000 in this field and the data file for the lookup contains 5000 records or less, records will load when you perform the lookup; however, if the data file contains more than 5000 records, the lookup window will be empty. Use this setting when lookups on data files with a large number of records are causing network/system performance issues.



Partial Lookup Default

Select the method to display data when performing a partial lookup at a field.

Select Begins with to display only records with matching criteria. For example, if "B" is entered as the partial lookup, only records that start with "B" appear.

Select Greater than to display all records that start with the selected criteria. For example, if "B" is entered as the partial lookup, all records that start with "B" and greater than "B" appear.
