Settings

User Changeable Settings alter certain defaults only for the user who changes them.

Note that you can set up default settings for all new users of a new case by logging in as DEFAULTUSER, setting the settings, and exiting

Annotation Settings affect the placement of e.g. page numbers on printed image pages.

Settings / User-Defined Lists

User-Defined Lists are the pick-lists which are available to users both to drop coding into Items and to define Queries. They are empty or have default values in a new Case.

Settings / User-Defined Lists / Pick Lists

Pick Lists are user-defined lists of words relevant to particular fields. Users can be forced to choose from a closed list of options so that data entry is controlled.

GoTo Page

Paginated Bundles identify each page by a number. The option GoTo Paginated Page allows you to find Bundle pages from multiple Bundles by their number.

GoTo Page allows you to jump to an image page within a Selection.

Both these functions work only where the entire image population consists of .tif images. Distinguish between these page-based jumping options and the options to jump to particular Items found on the GoTo Item Menu on the Item Card Menu.
