The Settings section contains the following, which are described below:
Barcode Settings
Enable barcode scanning and adjust scanning
speed.
Color Preferences
Use the Color Preferences to select colors for notifications. The Notification Color Preferences dialog allows for different colors to be used for the different notifications that will appear while using the program. Those include:
- Active Snap-in Border Color: Defines the color that highlights the active snap-in.
- Duplicate Number: Defines the color of the highlight on numbers that have a duplicate.
- Juvenile: Defines the color of the highlight on a Juvenile's name and the colored banner at the top of a Juvenile's name record.
- Sealed: Defines the color for the Sealed banner at the top of a sealed case record and the color for field backgrounds that need the sealed notification (Case Involvements, Sealed Rows, etc.).
To define colors for each notification, select the notification on the left and specify the colors desired by clicking one of the color swatches available.
Default View Settings
Default View Settings allow customization of your session views and make them more accommodating to your viewing and data entry needs.
-
You can select which default name and case types should be used when new name or case records are added. For example, if you set the Default Case Type to Juvenile, all newly added cases will open in the same view as that set for the Juvenile case type.
On the Case or Name session type tab, select the desired case/name type from the Default Case/Name Type drop-down list. Any Case/Name Types that are currently expired or not yet active will not appear in this drop-down list.
By default, the Do not show prompt when creating a new case/name check box is selected. With this check box selected, new case/name records will be created using the Default Case/Name Type selected. If this check box is not selected, a prompt with the selected Default Case/Name Type will be displayed. (If a Default Case/Name Type was not selected, this field will be blank.) The prompt will include a drop-down list to allow you to select a Case/Name Type for the record. Any Case/Name Types that are currently expired or not yet active will not appear in this drop-down list.
-
You can set the default views for new and existing case and name sessions.
For example, you might choose to open existing case records in the Details view to see many snap-ins of the case record at one time, and you might choose to add new name records in the Basic view to facilitate your data entry process.
On the Case or Name session type tab, select the desired view from one of the following drop-down lists:
- Default View When Creating a Case/Name: This view will be used for the creation of new cases/names that are not configured individually.
- Default View When Viewing an Existing Case/Name: This view will be used for the viewing of all existing cases/names that are not configured individually.
- Default View When Opening a Document Hyperlink: This view will be used for the case/name record when clicking a document hyperlink.
-
You can set the default views for each case and name type for which you do not want to use the defaults selected above. For each case or name type, you can set the default views for creating new records, viewing existing records, and opening document hyperlinks. For example, you can set your default views for Felony case types to be different from those for Misdemeanor case types.
On the Case or Name session type tab, navigate to each Case/Name Type listed in the left-hand column, and select views from each of the following drop-down lists:
- Creating a New
- Viewing an Existing
- Document Hyperlink
-
You can set the default start page session view and the default docket session view.
On the Other session type tab, select the desired view from one of the following drop-down lists:
- Default Start Page View
- Default Docket View
Document Scanner Settings
Specify the scanner used to scan documents with
the Document Scanning tool. See "Document Scanning" for more information
on document scanning.
Enable Pop-up Reminders
Pop-up reminders are enabled by default. Clear
the check box if you do not want to receive pop-ups of event reminders.
Font Size
Specify the font size for text throughout JustWare. Default is 10 points,
but you can make it smaller or larger to enhance readability. You must close any open sessions before changing the font size. Font size 12 is only available if the DPI for your computer's text size is set to the standard 96 pixels per inch.
- Enable Name Search: Change the default soundex name search
setting for Quick Search to on or
off.
- Enable Wildcard Search: Turn wildcard searching on or
off.
Remember My UserName and Password
Select to
remember your Username and Password once you have successfully logged on
so you do not have to provide your logon information with each successive
logon.
Save Status Messages to Log File
Select to save all status messages to your hard
drive. This tool allows you to send information to the JustWare
Administrator or New Dawn Support for help with troubleshooting
problems.
'Name Search' Options
This setting is used to specify how search results will
be filtered in a Name Search or an Advanced Name Search:
- Exact Match: Returns only exact matches
of the search terms.
- Partial Match at End: Returns only
matches beginning with the search terms.
- Partial Match Anywhere: Returns all
matches that contain the search terms.
Send Email Using
Specify which email client to use to send email correspondence:
- Outlook: JustWare will use Microsoft Outlook
as your email client when sending email correspondence. If this
option is selected, email templates that your administrator may
have set up for email correspondence can be used.
- Default Mail Client: JustWare will use your
default mail client when sending email correspondence. If this
option is selected, only the subject line of an email template
is used. If there is not an email template set up for email
correspondence in your office, the subject line defaults to the
correspondence description followed by the case ID and no
information is inserted into the body of the email.
- No Mail Client: JustWare will not use a mail
client and will not open an
email for a new email correspondence.
Show Times
Select to display response times for the session (shown in seconds).
Two pieces of information are displayed in the status bar:
Cached/Not Cached and Load Time.
- Not Cached: Loading a session type that
has not been loaded yet.
- Cached: Loading a session type that has
already been loaded and can be utilized to speed up the load
time.
- Load Time: Time displayed will show the
total amount of time it took to complete the load.
Hover over the status bar to
display a breakdown of the load time. For a more
detailed view of the times, click Tools | Options | Show Log File (only works if the Save Status Messages to Log
File setting is turned on under Tools | Settings).
The display is broken down as follows:
- AddSnapInSession Time: The time to create
the user interface.
- Time waiting for data: The time spent
waiting for information to return when everything else has been
completed.
- GetSessionDataInternal: The time it takes
to retrieve information.
- Bind Data: The time it takes to bind the
retrieved information to the data set schema.
- InitializeSession: The time it takes to
set up the action bar, settings, and custom refresh.
- RefreshSnapIns: After data is bound, the
connection to the snap-ins is refreshed to assure proper
placement.
- Bind Cached Schema: The time it takes to
bind the cached schema that will receive the information. This process
can take place congruently with GetSessionDataInternal.
- Waiting For Client: The time spent
waiting for the client after information has been retrieved.
- Refresh Data: The time it takes to
refresh the client controls with the new information.
- Initialize Session Pre: The time it takes
to set up reports and view lists if the client is still waiting
for information to return.
- Merge Cached Schema: If the Session is
bound to a cached schema, the information that is returned needs to be
merged into the schema that was cached.
- Rebind Cached Session: The time it takes
the retrieved information to be merged into the cached session.
- Finally: Displays time of numerous small
tasks, such as auto-generating numbers, checking for pop-up
notifications, etc.
Each of these increments will be broken down into two
segments:
- Start Time: When the process
started.
- Duration: How long this process took to
load.
Below is an example of Show Time data as it would appear in the Status Bar:
- Not Cached: Load Time: 2943
- Cached: Load Time: 2271
