The PRepS properties dialog contains two tabs, the General tab, and the Main Window tab. As the names imply, the General tab is used to configure general PRepS features, while the Main Window tab is used to configure which columns are displayed on the main window.
The General tab allows the users to configure general PRepS features. Changes on this tab are effective immediatly upon the user pressing the OK or Apply.
PRepS can automatically refresh the main window after a cetertain number minutes. The Auto-Refresh Rate parameter specifies how often the main window should be refreshed. Setting this value to zero will result in automatical refreshing of the window being turned off.
PRepS can create a couple of different HTML based reports. The HTML Viwer parameter determines which program is used to view those reports from the report generation dialog. The viewer program must accept the name of the file to view as its only parameter. If the viewer program is not in the user's PATH, the full path to the program must be provided.
PRepS can create a ChangeLog for a project. The Text Viwer parameter determines which program is used to view the ChangeLog from the report generation dialog. The viewer program must accept the name of the file to view as its only parameter. If the viewer program is not in the user's PATH, the full path to the program must be provided.
If the Show login dialog on startup check box is checked, the Login Dialog will automatically be displayed when PRepS is started. Otherwise, the Login Dialog will only be displayed on startup if the initial database login fails.
The Main Window tab allows the users to specify which columns are displayed in the results list on the main window. If the user chooses to display no columns, the system will default to displaying the problem report number, problem report description, and project name. This is done as a failsafe measure.
Changes made on this tab do not take effect until PRepS is restarted. I plan on fixing this in the future so that changes are effective as soon as they are applied. In the maintime, this is just easier.
