Argos Options

The Options dialog lets you edit various settings.

It is divided into four tabs:

General

Show background images - Used to hide or display the background image on the main Argos screen, if one has been set by your MAPS administrator.

History count - Sets the number of pages users can return to by using the Back button.

Animations - Controls the display of animations used throughout Argos (ex: expand or collapse explorer tree objects). Enabled by default.

Enable Emoticons - Choose to display emoticons within object note fields.

Styled application - Enables the use of the Argos theme. Unchecking this box will revert many of the interface colors to a standard Windows style. If you are using a "Windows Classic" theme for your OS, this option will be unchecked by default.

Startup

Show the splash screen while loading - Shows or hides the splash screen while Argos is loading.

Query Designer

Sort table fields in dropdown boxes - When checked, dropdown boxes that pull their data from a database will sort in alphabetical order, instead of the order of the fields in the database.

Use Data Dictionary - Enables use of the Data Dictionary on DataBlocks and reports. The Data Dictionary must be configured by a MAPS administrator before it will provide information in Argos. DataBlock Designers can also disable the Data Dictionary from within the query design window.

Security

Clear - Clears any usernames and passwords that were stored on this machine for Argos. Individually stored credentials can be cleared at the login screen via the "Forget this user" option.
