This option allows you to enable screen readers for this application. When checked, the application is compatible with screen-reader software. When not checked, the application does not support screen-reader software. |
Font Style |
This set of options allows you to specify the fonts used for the application.

Output Formats |
This set of options allows you to specify how the application handles presentation when working with output.

When checked, the Print Preview option will display the output in PDF format. When not checked, your browser's Print Preview is used. If using the PDF option, you can adjust the PDF print options prior to printing rather than your browser print options. Using the PDF options simplifies customizing your print request. The option to Re-use new window for each export, print or PDF allows you to use a currently open dialog window when selecting export, print or PDF options. When checked, an existing dialog window is used if opened. When not checked, each action to export, print or output to PDF will open a new dialog window even if one is already opened for your application. The Full Screen mode options for reports and documents (separate options) allows you to specify when the full screen view of output (reports or documents) is applied. The options are to use the report definition, always open in full screen or neve open in full screen. |
Cart-style selections |
A "cart-style" prompt will have an Available list and a Selected list. This option specifies if a selected item will remain in both the Available once selected. When checked, the selected item will appear in BOTH the Available and Selected boxes. If not checked, an item will MOVE from the Available to Selected box once selected. |
Qualification |
This option defines the default operators to be used when defining a qualification filter on an attribute and metric. These operators are used when you define report filters, view filters, custom groups and prompts (Note: Some of these application processing options may not be enabled for the application you are using). There are separate options to set the default qualification operators for attributes and metrics. The Default Operator for Metric Qualification determines the default operator when defining conditions using a metric. This provides a drop down list of the available qualification operators for selection. The Default Operator for Attribute Qualification defines the default operator when definition conditions using an attribute. This provides a drop down list of the available qualification operators for selection. The Preserve Whitespace in Prompt Answers specifies if whitespace is retained in prompt answers. When checked, whitespace is retained. If not checked, the whitespace is eliminated. |
Hierarchy Browsing |
This option determines if attributes that are included on the report but not added to the grid are included in the Page-By panel. When checked, report attributes not included on the grid are added to the Page-By panel. When checked, the attributes are included in the Page-By panel and will be applied to the view of the output. When not checked, the attributes are included in the output but will not appear on the grid or in the Page-By panel. |
Save Options |
This option allows you to specify if the Save dialog window is automatically presented with the Advanced Options displayed when applicable. The Advanced Options are presented when you have a prompted report and these options specify if and how the report prompt answers are saved. When checked, the Advanced Options are presented and expanded for the Save dialog when applicable.
