To adjust your program preferences, select 'Preferences' from the 'View' menu.

Defaults

In this section, you can change the default 'Comments author' (for comments) and 'Context type' (for blank contextual elements).

You can also control whether:

  • the titles of top-level terms (functions) and references to top-level terms (within see references) are capitalized
  • the tree menu in the Edit form view should automatically expand
  • the tree menu in the Edit form view should contain options to create any kind of term hierarchy (or just allow the use of functions and activities).

Layout

Select 'Single page view' if you would like all the Edit form fields to appear as a single page, rather than as two tabs ('Main' and 'Additional').

The layout options allow you to control the dimensions of particular fields in the Edit form view.

By adjusting the 'Page width', you may find that the Edit form better fits your screen.

Updates

The 'Updates' preferences control whether the program automatically marks the date of update for terms and classes that are changed. The 'Highlight updates since' field allows you to highlight changes after a certain date (changes are highlighted in the program's Review view).
