Check one or more of these options:

  • Prompt to Save - If checked, when you use the PMWeb menu or toolbar tools to leave a record before saving changes a message displays, asking you to confirm that you wish to abandon your edits.
  • Open with menu collapsed - If this option is checked, each time you open PMWeb from the log-in page the control panel will be collapsed to the rail by default. It can be expanded to the drawer using the toggle button. See Control Panel for more information.
  • Advanced grid filters - If this option is checked, advanced grid filters are displayed in tables that offer filters, rather than the default ones. See Tables for information about filter types.
