Application Toolbar
This feature allows details of applications to be entered into HowNow so that each user can have an Application Toolbar of icons across the top of their HowNow screen that links to their commonly used programs.
The Application Toolbar also allows HowNow to open data records automatically if Records Management is installed.
To administer Toolbar Applications:
Profile
The Profile tab contains each person's personal information.
Other Settings
The Other Settings tab contains additional personal information.
Default Record Date Type: Sets the default date type to either Modified, Added, Created or Finalised.
The options are:
Last Opened – Open at the last tab viewed.
Tab Name – Opens at the selected tab
Folder to Monitor: Allows the user to choose which folder on their system they would like HowNow to monitor when using the Monitor a Folder function. The default is My Documents\HowNow\.
Minimise HowNow to the System Tray: When ticked this adds a HowNow Icon to the System Tray and when the main HowNow window is minimised it is removed from the taskbar and minimised to the tray. To restore HowNow simply click on the HowNow icon in the System Tray.
Open HowNow Full Screen: Select this checkbox if you wish to have HowNow display full screen (i.e. maximised) when HowNow is first opened. Leave this checkbox unselected if you prefer to have the HowNow application cover only part of the screen when first opened.
Alerts
Alerts enables an individual user to control how they are personally alerted in HowNow.
Note: only those alerts set to User Select in System Options > Alerts can be changed.
Profile Picture
This area allows a person to add or edit their image. The image type needs to be JEPG (*.jpg) or bitmap (*.bmp)
Click Load Image, browse to the appropriate file anywhere on your network, select the file, and then click Open.
Note: Only the administrator can add or edit a photo.
Note: As pictures are only displayed on-screen in 72dpi, creating files with a resolution greater than 72dpi simply wastes hard drive space.
