Getting There
The preferences screen can be accessed from the Main menu. Select => Maintenance | Preferences.
Just a little FYI:
Since there's a lot going on in the preferences screens, we've broken them up into parts and color coded. One color will be covered at a time.
Preferences - Workstation Settings
Description:
Users can use the workstation settings dialogue to make changes to the way TTW interacts with them and their data. There are a variety of options that change everything from the colors that are displayed when editing HUD information, to the option to use shared repository filters or not.
Red
Checking:

Print HUD Signature Lines

Signature lines being printed on page two of the settlement statement. |
Use Shared Repository Filters

Determining if filters will be used locally on that machine, or system wide. |
Main Grids are Time Sensitive
|
TTW assigning the file's text (in the order grid) different colors signifying time allowed in a dept. Black means they are within time limit, red means they are over time, and green means that time spent is N/A. Hours allowed in a dept. can be controlled through Department Setup. |
Save Printer Settings With Bank
|
TTW remembering the printer you select when printing a specific bank. This setting will be automatically used when printing in the future. |
Email is MS Outlook |
A change in the way TTW communicates with you default email client. Leave this box checked (recommended) if you want Outlook to resolve (or fill in) names. |
Blue - Data Alignment
This setting is one that really shouldn't ever need to be tweaked, It controls the rate at which the data populates as you scroll through the order grid. 800 tends to be about the perfect number in most cases.
Purple - HUD Edit Field Editor
Changes the colors that the fields appear as you edit HUD information. The fields that work using the F6 button will appear the color you select under HUD Edit F6 Color and the ones that don't use F6 for entry will appear the color selected under HUD Edit Filed Color.+
