 You can configure the general appearance of Docsminder. These settings are saved in a config file for each user.
Please note that nothing is saved to the Windows registry.
Sort as numerical values
Most fields in Docsminder are sorted as ASCII strings - ie, they are sorted from left to right, character by
character. This is perfectly ok if what you are sorting is text in character, as we read text from left to right.
And in general, the position of a text character within a larger string does not have an embedded meaning. It is
just text.
Numbers are completely different. Our numbers are read from right to left, and in doing so we assume that the
position of a number within a larger number has a positional value. Hence, the number 6 in the larger number 364
actually has the value of [6 x 10 position from right]. In this case, as 6 is the second character (and counting
starts at zero), we come up with an actual value of 6 as [6 x 101 = 60). Anyway, suffice to say that numbers, if
treated as text, will not sort in the way that we expect them to.
What we need to do is right justify numbers - and that is just what we do with this option. If this option is turned
on, then main numerical type fields in the display grids of certain forms are right justified. These fields are
Colours
This option sets the colours of many screens in Docsminder.
Style sheets
Stylesheets are used by grids in Docsminder to alter their appearance. Generally, ALL grids
will use this one central stylesheet. There are a number of preset stylesheets that you can use - some are quite
garish and colourful!
By default, we use the "Standard" stylesheet. This has been configured to be fairly attractive and benign on all
types of screens and screen sizes.
